I have a question about removing the lenses from a globe.I have a Texaco globe that is glass and it has to lenses of course. I am new to dealing with gas pumps and it looks like the lenses are held on by to pins on each side. How do you remove them? Any help would be appreciated.

There are knurled nuts on the inside of the globe. Lay the globe flat. Remove the nuts and screws. Remove the lens. Turn it over and repeat.
Or you could use the Jarvis method and use a crow bar.


Wanted: Gas pump globes:Sinclair & affiliates, IL companies. Ripple bodies. Anything Sinclair, Stoll, Pierce, 4 Bros.

Make sure ALL caulking is removed or is loose before removing the lenses.
