    In the process of putting the pedals for a t-5, I took the dash apart like stinger says to do to move the speedo cable. I have a set of white face overlays for the gauges that I want to install. My question is how to get the gauge needles off. I have a habit of breaking crap, so I want to make sure I get it right. The indiglo faces didn't come with instructions.

    Thanks,

    If you just have the overlays, all you have to do is slide them over the needles. It isn't necessary to remove them. Don't worry if you need to rotate them, they should go back to their original positions the next time you turn on the ignition as long as you do not remove them.

    Thanks I just put them over the needles. I appreciate the help. I just didn't realize the hole in the center of the faces was that big.


    Later,
