How do I remove the oil pressure switch in my 1969 MGB GT?  I was reaching
in from behind to replace the old light bulb with an LED type bulb.  Half
of the LED  bulb broke off in the gauge and I can't get it out while it's
in place in the dash.  Do I have to remove the whole dash?

Been there.  For the later model MGB with=20
recessed dash panel and limited space behind, and=20
the console in place, Left Hand Drive, You may=20
need to remove the large instrument next door to=20
the left before you can get to the oil pressure=20
gauge.  If you can't get to that iunstrument,=20
then you may have to remove the next instrument to the left first.

Different model years have different instruments,=20
and some of them may have been swapped in=20
positions.  In a pinch, you may have to start at=20
the left end of the dash and remove all of the=20
instruments in sequence until you get to the=20
smaller gauge you want.  Then reach in through=20
the larger hole for access to the smaller gauge=20
connections and mounting bracket.

Reassembly is the reverse of disassembly.
