There must be a trick to this? Or do you just pray and pull?

I've got the front off but i cant seperate the clear bit from the black bit, it looks very fragile!

heat them up also works quite well if you dont have a hammer.

I used a very fine cutting disc on my Dremel on one end so I could just open it up enough to slip in the dial rings



I've had the rings floating around for YEARS and I broked up a Corsa B today so I thought I'd use the clocks
