Question
I have a Howard MIller Barrister clock and would like to replace the face and glass cover as the brass rim around the glass cover has gotten corroded.  I have a replacement face and cover, but am not sure how to replace it.  Any suggestions?

Thank you.

Answer
open the glass door and probably the dial rim has little round headed brass nails holding it in place? your replacement unit should show the holes,no? Remaove the nut holding the minute hand and then pull off the hour hand --then pry under edge of dial rim with screwdriver thin blade

can you post a photo to confirm? or is this correct?
