In the process of restoring the above gauge and having disconnected everything execp the lines to the oil pressure and temp. Looks like the oil line unscrews. Same with the temp or does it just pull out? Thanks, Scott 53 1/2 ton.

if it is a mechanical temp gauge (which I believe it should be) it only disconnects at the engine end. You need to be careful not to damage the capillary tube or it will render the gauge useless.

As described above the temp gauge must be disconnected at the cylinder head and fed carefully back through the firewall. It should look like this going out or going in.

Temp gauge face can be restored by removing the two small screwa that hold it to the gauge.
