How do you take the speedo needle off?
« on: August 16, 2008, 11:30:20 am »
Taking apart my speedometer, because it keeps sticking at 9(9/10, 9, etc), but I can't get the speedo needle off. Is there a trick to it??  :shock:  The needle itself comes of easily, but the round part behind it does not.

use a fork to make pressure from behind, its on really tight.

on the sticking speedo, post a few pics of the speedo, if its like mine you may not have to take the needle off.
