Removing chrome speedo - MINI Cooper Forum

MarkW19 · #1 (**permalink**) Jul 2nd, 2006, 03:46 PM

I had to pull the middle section of the dash up to initially remove the original silver speedo ring, and as the chrome one just pushed on from the front, I thought it would just pull off??

But it's not budging...can anyone offer any advice where I should grab it/prize it from etc.?

If you really cant pull it off (be careful not the damage the dash) you may have to take the long way around as per my old FAQ on chrome line interior.

I took the long way round last time though, I assumed that was just for the very first time (as it was glued).

The hot weather might not help, expansion of the plastic and all that.

Thanks, after pulling the dash up I've been able to do it.

Blagged my dealer into putting all these bits into my new car for me (for free), thank god
