I know the feeling, although the items I work with are slightly larger than that, but often need more compression than is available with tweezers. So applying needle-nose pliers to an item the size of this o, only to have it go *POP* and fly across the garage into God only knows what dark crevice.

Springs. There are one or two in every movement. Smaller movements have smaller springs. They need to be compressed slightly in order to be removed and replaced. They fly a long distance if you do it wrong.
