Bandit clocks and the dismantalisation of said clocks

[Mr Hammers]

After wrecking my clocks in an off, I ended up buying quite a few, picking them up from wherever I could until I got the ones I'm happy with.

Now I have an excess of Bandit clockery, and if I could get the glass and surround off the actual instruments, I could probably make up another decent pair out of the bits I have.

But I can't work out, how, if it's possible, to seperate the mechanism bit (shrouded in that white plastic stuff) from the chrome surround and glass. It kind of looks like they're irreversably pushed on at the factory stage, but I'm sure there must be a way without hacking them to bits.

Anyone know if it's possible, and if it is, how..?

Cheers!
