How do i remove the set dial from the lense so I can pull the clock out from the back cluster.

 

Hold the shaft with a set of needle nose pliers.
The set **** un screws counter clockwise.
Be careful as they tend to rust up depending on what region you are in.
They break off easily.
Maybe a little PB blaster and give it a rest.Then go for the gusto.

Clock is out, took alot of soaking and finally unscrewed without damage
