SS Sub Insert Change

I changed the bezel insert on my early 90's SS Sub Date. It wasn't a big deal.

I wasn't too scared about doing it myself since it's my daily beater Rollie.

I just used a tiny eye glass screw driver to pop the old insert off and then used some body english and a couple plastic tools to evenly press the new bezel in place. With a loud SNAP the new bezel locked right in place. No big deal.

I saw the spring you're talking about.... it was not going anywhere when I went down below on the sub.

Maybe I got lucky :)

Now I wouldn't try this on a new 18K Sub ;)........ she'll go to the AD for works ;)..

Next Lesson - How to remove the crystal, hands, change the face in your own home without screwing things up> LOL...... wonder it it's possible?
