Re: Need Cluster help
you dont pop off the needles, are you trying to install aftermarket ones or what are you trying to do. if your trying to install those ebay indiglow gauges or whatever you just slide the needle through the center hole and put it on top of the OEM one...

Re: Need Cluster help
this is total bs...
op to take off the needle put the prongs of a fork underneath and pull upward with slight pressure the needle will pop right off.
when you go to place the needle back on you will have to recalibrate it the easiest way to do such is leave the cluster clear plastic cover off while the cluster is reinstalled. fill the gas tank to full, put the fuel needle at the full position, let the car sit cold for a day, put the temp needle in the c position. put the tach needle at 0 with the vehicle off. put the speedo needle at a known speed (have a friend drive next to you in a parking lot going slowly to know how fast you are going)
