I ran into the same problem when I attempted to disassemble the replacement instrument cluster I wanted to dye black. Carrera Gauge Hood Refresh
I eventually decided that using too much force on the wood trim was likely to damage it and I used masking tape to prevent dye from staining the trim. If I have time one day, I may try to remove the trim from the 996 gauge cover I replaced just to see if I can do it.
Bran - I originally tried to re-use my 986 gauge cover, but I couldn't fit the trim rings on the outer gauges. I am glad to see that it can be done.
