Replacing the digital crown

Could someone do a short video of how to remove and replace the digital crown on a 7000 series or series 1 apple watch? I have watched many videos on watch tear downs, and most of them never take out the crown. Of the few that do remove it, I can't tell what part is being held in place while the crown is lossened. Also, to remove the crown do you turn it clockwise or counterclockwise.

Answer this question I have this problem too

I double anyone will be able to offer you that as most techs don't take the watch down that far.

All I've done is use a clean electronics spray to clean things. You likely have some junk caught in the sensor unit or have grit in the crown seal area.
