hi guy i got flooded so my indicators where under water i have 3 interrapid indicators that i put in diesal to save them now im trying to get fluid out of the lenses how do i take the glass off and on ,,thanks jim
 
Jim,
Some of them have a ring underneath the dial with two spanner holes in it. Put a pin in one of the holes to secure the ring while unscrewing the bezel.

I would rinse out the Diesel with d-alchohol
I clean and repair alot of indicators and most work best dry
jewled bearings hate WD40 it evaporates to a thick goo.
If you soaked them in diesel that should prevent any corrosion but you should follow it up by removing the diesel.
they will most likely work better than B4 your flood. (ya cleanded the shop crud out)
 
But make sure to re-oil it after you clean it out.

I had a Bestest develop massive amounts of corrosion on the steel pinion gear after I cleaned it out with alcohol. I just shot alcohol down past the stylus and drained it out a few times, forgot to oil the thing.

When I went to use it the next day, it wouldn't move.
