I did that on my '76 and plinked both needles off. Great. I spent the next hour carefully Super Gluing them back on. Sheesh.

That trick worked fine on my 81. Another trick is to use fork and pry off the needle.

you could unscrew the gauge flaceplate thats behind the needle and then gently pull up with the face, kinda take two out at once. that keeps you from prying with something against the plate and scratching it...learned that one the hard way :/
