Honda dealer. I did this once too. but i did my water & fuel. It was back in 99 when they came out with the euro clusters. The needles have a little backing to them that sticks out & would get caught up so they would get stuck & not read correct. i thought i could cut the backs off with an exacto knife. Yeah that worked like ****. F'n broke them. I brung it to honda & told them they fell off & it was a defect & to warrenty them. They laughed & charged my like $185 to fix both. Yeah s.o.l man. Good luck.
