Looking for proven methods to remove tank console numbered insert

<< < (2/2)

VRODDAVE:
I know this is an old post. Believe it or not I just today got the replacement consul insert that was mentioned in the beginning. I'm thinking it was well over a year.

Since I had the new insert in hand, I decided to try and remove the old insert off of the scratched consul. Using a professional heat gun on high,  along with some fire wire fishing line 15 pound test. I think that 15 pound test was the key to getting it off.   ;D    Tied one end of the fishing line to the fuel cap hinge pin, and the other around the hinge pen and just gradually pulled it up applying heat

Anyway it came off pretty much intact. Attaching a photo.

I'm saying it can be done without damage however seriously doubt the adhesive would stick as well as original.  Four hands are better than to

JCZ:
That's great Dave......happy that you were able to get a new one! 

Also great that you were able to get the old one off without causing any damage to it.  Sooner or later somebody will inquire again.
