Disassemble daily trip odometer tip

[Engine302]

I have received my odometer back from repair and like to install a new bezel lens. Following one of the threads I‘ll like to drill a whole and glue the back of the tip on the new lens!

WHO can help me „how to disassemble the reset tip“ from the old lens?

Thanks - didn’t find it - next time I search more accurately!

The trip reset is molded into the lens and not removable as a separate assembly.

But he reused his tachometer lens and spliced it to a new fuel gauge section.

you're better off repairing your lens if you can, I wrote a thread on it.

Thank you all! But my original lens is broken and is contaminated with yellow glue particles- so I try to cut of the trip reset and glue it into the new repro lens! 

Just following the instructions

For clarification.... I reused my original Speedo/Odometer lens and spliced it onto a new standard Fuel and Tachometer lens portion. The lens is facing down down in the picture. I was a bit apprehensive about cutting the new lens and my old lens apart, but the end result was t worked great. The splice was completely hidden behind the bezel over the gauges.

Thanks to all! I did follow the videos in the threat link from Don C‘s reply !

3 Hours of work - but I‘m happy with the result!

Now I have to fix the km/h foil bubbles!
