Does anyone have any ideas/tricks to remove the clear plastic face on the stock gauge clusters? It looks like they are glued in, and a heat gun doesn't seem to work very well.

 

once you have the guage cluster out there are little tabs that you push in (4 of them) with a screwdriver or somethin and it pops right off

 

On my gauge set it is glued down....

 

Yeah...on mine it had the tabs and the glue. I tried to get mine off to clean in there but it started to crack so I just left it alone. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I am curious ,why would you want to separate the clear front plate?

 

...to install the white face gauges that I created and posted for all you guys

 

to wind back the odometer.. to paint the needles... to break the needles while ur painting them.. to push the needle past 240km and 8000 revs to take a photo..

 

Oh..i thought you meant, seperate the clear plastic part from the thin black plastic ATTACHED to it..

There are 5 (i think 5...maybe 4) screws in the back of the cluster that hold that front cover on.

On the second picture, you can see those three white tabs with holes in them at the bottom.. That's what you want to unscrew.
