Hands slipped on clock
The hour hand has slipped on my V6 clock. Presume I can't get it out without removing the dash? (Damn).

The clock hands are just press-fitted onto the spindles, but you'll have to access the face by removing the dash fascia panel. It's pretty straight forward once you know how. There are threads scattered around on this but Post 3 here gives the basic method: https://the75andztclub.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=812

Many clock hands are just a friction fit onto a tube or a shaft. A VERY VERY gentle squeeze on the hand tube with a small pair of pliers will tend to make the hole slightly eccentric and a better push fit. Watchmakers have pliers with a screw stop which can be adjusted to a snug fit on the tube and then another quarter of a turn on the screw allows them to close slightly more. An alternative method is to GENTLY tap the open end of the hand tube whilst supporting the hand on a solid base to spread the metal and grip the inner tube or shaft. Very fine work which I have done in the past when my hands were steadier and eyes sharper!

An old watchmakers trick, pull a hair out (if you have any) and use it through the boss of the hand when you tap it back on.
