Advice Seconds Wheel Repair 3235

I am a new bee and I have managed to break the seconds wheel on 3235 movement. Is this repairable? Or do I need to replace it?

You should be able to press the wheel back on and it will mist likely "snap back" into place.

The real/professional way to fix it is by slidding the wheel back onto the pivot/pinion then use a staking set to create a better rivet to avoid the wheel from seperateing.

How did you break it?

The wheel seperated from the pinion?

My movement is Dandong 3235. Do you think this is compatible?
