Gauge-curious: What tool is used to remove and install the black outer bezels on the center console oil and temp gauges? Is there a source and approx cost?
Looking to buy (or borrow) one to clear the fog haze off the inside glass surfaces. Not sure if I trust myself with the small screwdriver pry method list in a past thread. Last resort would be to ship to CA, but seems excessive for just glass back cleaning. |

Last resort would be to ship to CA, but seems excessive for just glass back cleaning. I have always felt that there ought to be a bezel opener that would work in a manner analogous to a can opener. When you are done it should zip the bezel back on. I know that such things sort of exist kind of. In the real world you can hammer and file a screw driver to make the perfect tool. Good luck with a needed repair, |
