Central Tools dial indicator Help

[scofo]

Hello folks. Does anyone know how to remove lens from model #4345 Central Tools dial indicator? Mine hit the floor and the needle snapped off near its hub. The indicator appears to function, just impossible to read.If I can remove lens without damage I can probably glue the needle back onto "Hub Stub" Thanks in advance.

Most of the time, the lens pops right out when it hits the floor!

I do not own a Central indicator but most indicators I have used the lens snaps into the face bezel.

Most just snap in. there is a small lip around the bezel, and the lens snaps into and under this small lip. You can use an X-acto to get under the edge somewhere, but it will mark the lens a little, then you may have to use a dab of Super Glue to hold it back in.
