Yes...use the procedure for changing the gauge face.
Look at "Opening up the gauges". Good luck..it's not that difficult. |

i'd just leave it in there. someone dropped one in mine that has probably been in there for decades and it's done no harm.

I friggin can openered my tach to get one of my "ETarga" Led bulbs out and since the ring is no longer original (slightly destroyed) it will be going to Hollywood Speedo for damping and custom face ...
Although with the rubber grommet it doesn't show too much ! Cheers ! Phil
