    I have a 02 379 and am currently wrapping my dash panels. Wondering if anyone knows any tricks or tips to removing the stock gauges from the dash plate.

    I have a small steel tube that just barely fits over the back of the gauge that depresses the tangs for easy removal. If i remember I'll grab a pic tomorrow
