how do I mend president 31 days wind up clock?

I bought a president 31 days wind up wall clock off ebay, it worked fine but was fast so pushed the minute hand backwards to the right time and it has stopped working now.

any ideas how to fix it?

The hand is touching the hour hand. pull it a little. it will stop touching the hands. and when fast there is a bob(nut) below the pendulum. one full turn(right) makes it slow 2-3 minutes every 24 hrs. one full turn to the left makes it speed up 2-3 mins every 24 hrs. turn it. record the time. wait for 24 hrs then check the time against your watch or any clock. if a few minutes late or advance, keep turning the bob and wait 24 hrs everyday till its showing right time.
