Default Tach glass problem

Hello,

Been chasing an electrical fault and needed to get behind the dash hoping to find a loose wiring connection (will post more about that later). My problem now is this; was trying to remove the tach from the dash to gain access and the glass and bezel just came right off (see photos).

I had a 82 SC Targa a few years back and the gauges were relatively easy to remove, however, my currenty 993 is not being as accommodating.

1. Is there a trick to removing the gauges?
2. How do I fix the tach, as seen in the photos?

Thanks,
Mike
