SUBJECT: Removal of the Gas Gauge Cover from the Frame…

I have two Gas Gauge Assemblies that were removed from Model A Gas tanks.

Both have the Gas Gauge Cover (A-9326) that is still screwed into the frame but very, very tightly to the point where trying to hold the assembly in trying to remove the cover is nearly impossible.

What technique have you used to remove such tight covers without ruining the assembly and the parts involved?

I just started to soak the assemblies in KROL but do not know if even that will do the job.

Thanks.
