I need to remove the bezel on one of my gauges to do some custom work. Do you have any tips or tricks for removing the bezel with the least amount of damage? The only thing that comes to mind is very carefully use a small thin bladed flat screw driver and work it slowly around the gauge under the lip.

Little screw driver.
When all is done, you will never see it. Don't try to get it all in the first pass or you can kink the edge. Just go around two or three times in different places to get it all bent up straight. Tim, if you build a tool, I would love to see what you come up with. For putting it back on, I would think a large diameter piece of tubing with the correct inside profile, and a rubber mallet would do the trick. |
