Dial indicator disassembly

 

Has anyone had one of the LMS 2" dial indicators apart?? I got a used one for just a few dollars and it needs a little fixing.? The needle is bent, but I can't get the front bezel off.

Not familiar with the LMS.? However, I just had an older Mitutoyo apart that I bought used off ebay.? The bezel and housing gets pried off - there are wire spring retainers in a groove that keep it in place.

That said, I have other indicators that have snap rings holding the bezel on, and some I haven't figured out how to get apart.? I think the Federals have a small gap in the bezel housing that you stick a tool into...

Unfortunately, mine is like none of those.? No screws or retainers holding it on.

??? It still works if ya zero it . I thought those 2" ones cost a fair bit more than a 1" but Shars has one for 28 bucks if ya order online , but probably another 20 bucks freight ?

I got it.? The bezel is actually in two pieces and I was prying on the larger part instead of just the knurled part.? They sure looked to be a single part, no seam was visible to my eye.
 

For chrisser, this might help.? It's what made me realize I was prying on the wrong part of the bezel.
