It all depends on the style of the band. Go to where the links are all the same size, not tapered at all. If you have a stretch band, along the edge, unbend the flaps that hold what look liks tiny staples. Pull out what you need removed and put the remailing pieces together. If you have a non-stretch band, grab a SMALL paperclip about 1/8" from the end. Along the edge of the band you will see the pins that hold it together. Have someone hold the band with the bottom edge of the pin you are removing, over an opening. Between 2 hardback books wirks great. Tap the pliers to drive the pin partially out. Pull it out and do the same to remove as many links as needed. Put the pins back in, in the same direction they came out, from the same side they came out.
Twist-o-flex bands are very difficult to adjust yourself. Unless you do this on a regular basis I would recommend just taking it to a watch repair business and let them do it for you! It will save you the headache of trying to find the little staple like pins when they fall on the floor! :-)
