	Guys/gals, need urgent help! To remove Mk2 Cortina speedo is it especially clockwise or counter clockwise to remove it? any tricks? Do I hold the facia ring/bezel still or rotate it too? Are there any other retainers apart from the spring loaded wire?? I've pulled the 2nd guage but for the life of me the speedo wont move? I need it out to paint the dash..... HELP!!

	The easiest way is put one hand under the dash and hold the speedo, have a little wobble to loosen it, The large bezel is separate of the instrument and should not rotate, with your other hand push against the glass, it should move inwards with the gauge, still grasping the speedo from behind, rotate the speedo should turn Anti clockwise, (I think) then pop out,
	Atmo V8 Power . No slicks , No gas + No bits missing . Doing it in style. Austin A35van, very different------- but still doing it in style, going to be a funmoble

	Thanks mate. I might have to push on the face of it harder as I turn to get it to move - just paranoid about cracking it! I appreciate your response. V8 conversion is still in my mind - but has been put off indefinitley due to costs
