Default How to Remove TA Round Air Vent's??
Got 2 5/8 boost and fuel pressure gauges to put in the TA, but i can't get the vents out...and i don't want to break anything. What's the easiest way to do this?

they should just "pop" out. IIRC it took a little effort the first time but after that they came out pretty easily...just grab ahold of the vent, wiggle it a little and pull at the same time...

yeah, the bezel will come out as well, and the 2 5/8 gauges will fit perfectly

no actually they are not all the same. The 3 center vents are the same, but the other 2 are different.
