Soond bad Graham: Would have been mad also...
Specialy if the drilled holes are not used and the springbars are sitting in other holes(if I understood well...?)
Anyway, a small tip of sharp knife can grab the springbar's surface and pull it out of the hole. That's how I took off some springbars who hadn't any shoulders.
Carefull with that: Pinch the blade tip between your tom and your closed index: Only 1cm of blade should come out.
Your hand holding the blade should come in contact with the hand holding the watch: This will avoid any accidental slipping.
Just grab the springbar with the edge and pull it backward by twisting the wrist.
The knife's edge if good enough, will hook itself on the pin's surface: You may try more than once...
I never had any scratching accident on the lugs like that: The hole thing is about how you hold your hands firmly against each-other and only twist the wrist.
Good luck amigo.
