Speedometer Needle
I want to change the face on a speedometer. Does anyone know how the needle comes off ? I have'nt tried yet because I don't want to wreck either one, as they are bothh good speedometers.... Thanks

Just rebiult my 68' speedo and I gently twisted the needle backwards while pulling up to release it from the shaft. This one had me baffled as well and I even posted last week with no replies. I just did this work on Saturday and test drove it today and it works great.

Best to pull straight up from beneath the center point closest to the pin. This is best accomplished using a flat tool that will slide under both sides of the center. A plain fork works well. Don't pry against the gauge face but gently pull up on the needle.
