Default Removing dial bezel on silver Trav A Dial?

After some 30+ years of service, a chip finally found it's way inside
the old silver body Trav a Dial on my lathe. Luckily I have a spare and
can keep going. But I'd like to take this apart to clean it. Unlike the
modern units where the screw heads are epoxied over, this has 4 of the 6
screws exposed. The remaining two are under the dial, and I cannot get
the dial off. I've pried with more force than I really thought wise with
no success. I can see a wave spring of some sort which obviously
provides friction for the bezel. I think it has something to do with
retaining it too, but can't figure out what to do about it.

Anyone know how to get the bezel off without breaking something?

Thanks,

Jon Anderson
