I looked for this topic and haven't found anything of specific use yet...
I have a Starrett 120-A 6" dial caliper, made around 2005 0r 2006, which has the dial crystal popped out. I was gently trying to clean the rack and pinion with a little Dust-Off to get a chip out, and the pressurization under the dial assembly just blew the crystal loose. I'm trying to figure out two things:
--how to remove the bezel (it's a black plastic ring, not the earlier metal ring that is held with circle spring)
--what is best way to reinstall the crystal in the bezel.
Any help appreciated. I looked at the LonIsland Indicator site and didn't see info specific to this plastic bezel removal.
