Oil Pressure Gauge removal.

Oil Pressure Gauge removal.
Hello dear friends, my oil pressure guage has a slight problem.
There is a shroud that spans the top section and it has slipped down.
I was hoping to remove the guage, dismantle it and stick the shroud back in place.
The service manual says that all the guages can be removed by pushing in towards the facia and turning in a clockwise direction to remove.(RHD)
I imagine that they are a bayonet fitting. The problem is, I have pushed as hard as I can and it does not seem to want to move either clockwise or anti-clockwise. Has anybody been here before and can offer suggestions?
Kindest regards, Danny.

Having just read the manual again, it seems like the tachometer has to be removed in the fashion I mentioned, this will hopefully give access to the rear of the other guages. I expect there will be a bracket over the rear of the small guages that need to be removed before the guage will move forwards. I will be back with news of my progress in due course. Regards, Danny.

Problem Solved!
The Tachomter does indeed turn a little to the right before you can pull it clear.
You cfan then easily get to the rear of the Oil pressure gauge and release the knurled nut to remove the bracket. Once the gauge is on the bench, you can gently prise the outer rim clear of the instrument. I stuck the grey half-moon shaped shroud back in place and refitted the rip back and installed back to the dashboard, all finished! Easy job! Kind regards, Danny.
