  • Speedo/Tach Face Removal

    I was having issues with my Tach so I decided to take it apart. I figured that screwdrivers etc were going to take way to long and I have another tach coming so what the heck. I used a set of Nipper/Clipper type pliers ( I do not know the proper name for them) and had the whole thing off in less than 3 minutes. It worked really well and I may as well share a pic to show you what I used. Way easier than pokin myself repeatedly with a screwdriver. I used it on a square tach and it did well there with just the corners needing the screwdriver. The same screwdriver I poked myself with and drew blood I might add

    The edge even looks pretty good from what I can see!

      I've done a couple that way. Found that if you use a large hose clamp around the outside it gives a surface to pry on and you won't damage the part you'll see when you close it up.
