Quartz movements are pretty versitile, and a replacement should not be a problem. You will need to start by removing the old movement. Remove the cap nut (or open nut and second hand if your clock has a second hand). Remove the hands (they will more than likely pull off). Remove the nut which secures the movement. From that point, have the movement and a tape ruler handy for measuring. Contact Klockit toll free (1-800-556-2548). We should be able to assist in finding you a quartz pendulum movement replacement.

I wish I could see a picture of your movement to be certain. Despite this, here's what I would recommend...

If the screws are securing the movement to the clock case assembly wood part(s), then you would remove these screws. Some clock makers like to use wood screws through a quartz movement to help keep the movement vertically plumb.

If the screws are securing into the movement plastic casing itself, then you would not need to remove these screws. More than likely, these screws would be holding the front/back halves of the movement together (sandwiching the various gears and such in between).
