duffy,
taking the bezel apart and putting it back together without cracking the
glass is hard. you should carefully pry the back of the bezel gradually all
the way around and try not to kink the bezel.
If you remove it without damage, putting it back together is done carefully
in the reverse order. If you kink the bezel while removing but manage not to
break the glass, just get a new bezel (ask me how I know)
If you do break the glass or kink the bezel, West Valley Auto Instruments in
Reseda, CA - (818) 758-9500 - can get you a new bezel (not exact replica,
from VDO I think) and glass. I paid about $35. Talk to Morris.
Maybe a speedo shop local to you could get the same bezel/glass.
For jacking, maybe make adapters from 2x4s to support by the frame and not
the motor.
I need side covers too!
Have Fun and Good Luck!
