Why would one remove the dash to do the same?

Can you hollow out just the OE clock and place an aftermarket gauge there or will doing so screw up the other two?

That whole unit is actually one piece so if you break into it you're breaking into the whole unit. I used a set of long nose pliers and basically pulled it apart bit by bit. You may be able to just convert one piece but that would'nt have worked for me because I used the harness for the unit as my power and ground on the oil pressure and oil temp. I had to use a separate power source for my Wideband.

Thanks, I won't take the chance with killing the other 2 gauges to replace just the clock then.

52s install much better because they fit perfectly in the bezel.

I get you. It's a matter of choice though. I originally had 52mm Tanabe VLS and then got the 60mm JDM's. I ran the 60mm without the factory bezels like your setup. I just prefer the 52mm look. I could change my mind next week though, this is my 4th set of gauges.

Looking to pull the trigger on a 52mm Oil Pressure gauge and finding lots of negative reviews about the STRI units.

I can't find anyone that has a complete set in stock with Imperial readings as they put it. The US distributor for STRI's is no longer. They still make the gauges, just in Metric/bar versions.
