    Question Gauges

    I am sitting with my gauge cluster in front of me on the table. I don't know exactly how the needles come off and I do not want to break them. Anybody got a few words of wisdom? I read the other posts concerning the issue, but none seem to help. Thanks.
    What's old and 200lbs heavier than a 2000 Toyota Celica?

    Most aftermarket guages DO NOT require removal of the needles as it is very dangerous, ("meaning that after reasembly your guages may be inacurate or not function at all.") I do not recomend it. it's not the taking them off that's bad, it the putting them back on that does the damage, If you are making guages of your own, find a way to get around removing the needles. If you must, be carful, and like DXHATCHBACK said, use a fork. the damage come when you try to put them back on..
