tacho bezel

Hi
My tacho bezel is dented. Has any one ever removed one of these to repair? If so, how?

You can remove the bezel by carefully unfolding the rear profile with a screwdriver. How you can repair the dent will require a bit of patience and likely some filler. Good luck! :smile:

I had great success using a pointed 90 degree hook and turning it around under the bezel several times until it's free , all this without distorting it .

A paint tin opener works great, You know the little gizmo they give you free at ace or home depot when you buy new paint..
