Removing gauge faces

Ok, i just picked up a few Cobalt Series Autometer full sweep electric gauges.

anyone know how to get the faceplates out? i seems like the bezel is glued or crimped on. I don't want to **** anything up, but i want them off!

Thanks for the help.

I thought the gauge faces were interchangeable! But i could be wrong. If they are then they should come off!

i don't think they're interchangeable. I'm sure there is some way to do it, but i can't figure it out.
