Risking my TRD boost gauge so you don't have to

Couldn't find any pictures or guides online how to take apart these trd boost gauges. With all of them being 20+ years old at this point I figured I'd throw together a guide for anyone who wants to repaint and refresh their gauge. Will update as I go, but for now got the gauge apart and will get started on painting the housing.

 

Once separated the 3 piece outter ring/glass/flange will come apart if you gently pry similar to separating the housing. The black o ring and glass shouldn't need to be separated as they are sealed together. My seal still looks good so I'm not gonna touch it.

 

Careful with this white spacer that lives above the gauge. Mine cracked when it separated so I'm going to design + 3d print a new one and see what that looks like before trying to salvage this piece.

 

Stud bolt sizes are M5x0.80. Going to replace these crush nuts with stainless steel hex nuts. They are pretty tight on there so had to lock a couple nuts together on the stud and use some pliers to turn the bottom nut out.

 

Gauge is painted and all back together. Not perfect but much better than it was. Now trying to figure out where to get new wiring harness for bulbs.
