Best method to remove wood grain behind knobs intact

Post by 69twotone »

Hi all,

I am heading down to Iowa next week to pull an instrument bezel and the wood grain behind the knobs that is appropriate for my 69.

Any ideas on how to pull the woodgrain sticker where the knobs are without breaking it. Like putting alcohol behind it or wd-40

no no no. remove the knobs from the dash and the whole thing will come off. in two pieces. you will also have to loosen the steering wheel skirt to get it out from behind it.

Thanks lightning, and Fordman. So there is no adhesive it is just held in place by the knobs?
