You're not going to like the answer.   You cut the bezel off to get at
the insides, preferably on a lathe.   Putting a new bezel back on
requires rolling the edge over the case, again on the lathe.  At least
that is the only way I've seen it done.

Other options are to send it to palo alto speedo, or hollywood speedo,
or the guy in Austin (forget his name).   Best to take your question
to the /2 mailing list -- http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/slash2/
Don't let the name scare you away.   The singles, /3, and other beemers
of that era are also discussed.   They probably have other ideas.
