One of these days, I want to teach myself how to repair antique grandfather clocks. I'll surprise my father and fix his antique longcase clock.
I learnt from a Swiss watchmaker friend of mine and repaired watches on the side for 10 years.
You don't need to delve into learning too much to repair a grandfather clock.
Most common problem is the suspension spring (replace) and giving bushes a clean n lube is all that's needed.
Sometimes bushes can be worn and need to be replaced. That requires an expert unless parts a readily available.

Even if you need to spend a couple of hundred on it, might bring a tear to your father's eye.
You can remove the whole movement with dial and give it to a watchmaker in your city. (usually just unscrew)
Tazz, yeah a normal hammer will work but with a chisel. 
Seriously, if you mean the click on backs as opposed to the screw in then with a magnifying glass find the little indentation on the back of the watch to place the case opener in. (most click on back watches have that)
