hi,

Im replacing the instrument dials on my car to white and km/h. I have gone through all the instrument removal steps and now have the dials in front of me like in the picture below, but am not sure how to remove the guage needles to get the new dials on.
anyone know?

thanks

I managed to figure it out. They simply pull straight off. I used a fork.

Yup but the Rev counter one is quite hard to do!
