651S-1 Service information

Replacing the two bulbs in the meter for the 651S1.
I have just finished replacing the two 6 Volt, type 328, miniature bulbs in my 651S1.
The procedure is:

(1) Remove meter by unscrewing four small screws that hold the compression
mounts for the meter.
(2) Use a small screw driver to separate separate the slot/grove holds the
meter cover.  This is on the back of the meter.  Do not remove any screws
on the back of the meter.
(3) Snap the front cover off the meter.
(4) Remove two screws that hold the white plastic meter dial.  Slide the
dial out from under the meter pointer.
(5) Remove two screws from the white bezel that has two holes for the two
bulbs.
(6) If this white bezel is glued to the black plastic carefully seperate
it from the meter using an exacto knife.  Watch out for damaging the meter
pointer.
(7) Set the meter on its back and lift out the bulb holder.  Remove the
two screws at the back of the holder.
(8) You can now replace the bulbs.
(9) Reverse the process to preplace the meter.
