OK, got my clocks out..

The see through cover & the surround are attatched - how the hell do I seperate them?

Worried that Im going to crack the acrylic & then be stuck with a big ol' crack in the middle of my dials

No not that bit

Imagine the front bit that comes away. Its the clear plastic bit & the black surround with the holes in that sits in front of the dials themselves

I need to seperate these 2 to fit the dial rings

For fan assisted ovens, refer to your instruction manual.

i used a art and craft multi tool to basically cut a thin line all the way around...this was quick and simple because the line is already there, the disc just cuts the glue...it came off easily enough and with some glue it went back on.
