[T3] clock disassembly.

I'm taking apart an extra T3 clock I had,
for two reasons,  one, I want to see how everything is layed out, and 
contemplate turning
it into a multi gauge of some sort and two,  I thought I might just fix 
it.

I can't tell how to get the glass plate with the clock numbers printed 
on it out.
and the gear assembly still seems to be hanging on by the clock hands.

Do the clock hands just need to pulled straight outward and off?
mine don't seem to move that direction and I didn't want to apply to 
much force.

And does the glass plate with the numbers on it have any way of coming 
out?

I've managed to pop the posts of the gear housing out of their metal 
retaining clips that were
holding it to the can inside the can behind the clock glass, So I have 
to get it apart in order to put
it back together.

any experience here would be greatly appreciated.

p.s
I find it incredibly cool that the clock is just a windup clock that's 
wound up
by a motor every time it winds down.  [ contacts close and the motor 
winds
it back up, opening the contacts. ]
