[DeTomaso] HELP- tach bezel removal??

[Larry Finch]

All,

Having failed to find chromed replacement bezels for the tach and speedo  I want to remove the bezels and have them chromed.

They are retained with six tabs folded around the back side. The steel they are made from is surprisingly rigid and normal approach with thin blade screwdrivers is accomplishing nothing - I can?t even get a corner of the tabs to begin to bend upwards. Of course there is a limit as to how much force one wants to use considering the glass lens. 

Have any of you been there and done that and how did you get the bezel tabs bent to allow removal??

Thanks,

Larry
