why do u want to remove the lenses?  you can acess them from behind to clean
them..  those clear lenses are heat-seamed in there.. you try to pop them out
and you'll crack them..     just remove the 4 little screws that hold your
speeod or tach in, and you can clean the face of the gauges and the inside of the
plastic..  use warm water..dont use any detergents or cleaners on the gauges
as the painted on numbers may come off..
