Clock Removal - Help Requested
I want to remove my clock and have it cleaned by a jewlers (it works but does 'hang' and somtimes even stops until I move the set).
How do I get at it. I know I must remove the center metal bezel, but how do I do this? I removed the Phillips head screws but it still didn't want to move.

There are 2 studs on the bottom edge of the bezel that slide into slots on the forward edge of the lower console, and are held in place with nuts.
You'll have to take the lower side covers off and get down on the floor to look in there and see (or feel) them.

Please be very careful removing the bezel. Don't pry on it and don't force it out. Looking at the pic in the other post, you can see that the sides narrow to a very small section. I've seen too many of these bezels sold on eBay that are broken off at that location.
Good luck.

If it just needs cleaned there is no reason to send it in to have it cleaned.I have done 4 in the past 6 months and all of them are still working fine.
Here is a link,follow the directions and your clock will be working fine again.

I have also sent this to some other forum members who have told me their clocks are working great now.
FYI: A 9volt radio bat will operate the clock so you can test it before re-installing.Touch one bat post to the threaded stud on the back of the clock and the other to the case.

Thanks to all.
KW... Thanks for taking the time to write your doc. I will follow it as I suspect my 'points' are the real issue.
I wanted to stick with the OEM clock as NCRS fails quartz clocks.
