question:

when swapping out the old gauge faces for a new one... how did you guys remove the needle that points out the MPH and RPM..?
those things are a pain to pull out and I think I threw off the calibration of my spedometer. now I think it goes 10mph too fast. any other suggestions on pullin' them things out?

thanx...

are you doing white guage faces? if you are then there is no need to remove them i think

if you're just using the "slip cover" kind (the ones that don't have mechanical parts attached), you just slip the needles through the center holes.

i removed mine inorder to put my indiglos on but what i did was
start up the car and get it to full temp,and idel plug the rpm needle on,then get to a open road and berly let the car move
then put the needle on the speedo at 0 ,you will be off a little put not a lot right now i'm 4 miles over at all times works for me
