I am again summoning the great powers of the list.

Last summer I had my speedo and tach out for some other behind the dash
maintenance. While they were handy, I removed the bezels, cleaned up the
glass, and cleaned the faces with Endust. They looked very nice. As so often
happens, fixing up one part makes another part look even worse. So now I am
cleaning up the smaller gages. I have a 72 TR6 with black bezels by the way.

Please list answer my questions three:

1. How do I get the bezels off of the smaller gages? There appears to be a
tab sticking up that locks them in place. Not so with the speedo and tach.
Do I press it in, bend it, or what?

2. On the speedo and tach there was some sort of sealer between the bezel
and glass. How do I remove and replace it?

3. I noticed bubbling paint on one of the gages and it scraped off with my
thumbnail. Can anyone recommend a similar black paint?

Thanks and happy holidays.
