Clock for a 64
While I have the dash and cluster apart I decided to replace the clock glass becaues it is damaged. I have it out of the dash but I don't see how to remove the glass. Can someone please help me? Thanks.

First you have to remove the "setting" ****. Hold the shaft of the **** with a good pair of needlenose TIGHT, and unscrew the **** (counter clockwise). You may have to use pliers with a rag for protection to get the **** started. Next "uncrimp" the steel can holding the whole thing together. There are usually 3 crimps. Bend them just enough to get the front section loose, and the whole thing will come apart.

The lens sits between the bezel and the metal frame. It is pressed together and held on by small studs on the bezel. I removed mine by carefully prying with a very thin screwdriver in the area of the studs working my my around all of them until it popped off. Be careful as the metal is thin. When you put it back together you will probably have to peen the studs slightly to get it all to stay together. Watch where you hit or you may get the luxury of doing it all again.

Yes....
btw-the easiest way to re-install the glass it to simply tap the three rivets out and re-install with the three small screws. If you try to re-do or use the rivet's you might end up doing more damage than not, if not extremely careful. Just my opinion.....
Good Luck,
