Brad,
You have the gauge out , right? (sorry to be so impertinent)
Look closely at the ring holding the glass to the body...are there
little tabs bent down and around the edge? If so, try grasping this
ring firmly and twisting. It should rotate to the slots and come right off.
DO NOT try to pry these away. Just spin the ring. Now, getting it back
on with a fresh rubber gasket, well....not quite as easy. Perseverance !

Help!
Does anyone know how to take off the glass lense on the tempature
gauge on an early Spitfire? Mine needs cleaning but I'm leary of
trying to pry it off without knowing in advance that it would work or
not. I'm not in the mood for braking anything right now!
Thanks
