Default Installing White Face Guages

I know, I know, but they are for my wifes car not mine. So how do I take the needle off of the guages? Does it just pull off? am going to try this weekend and see what I can do. I saw a friend do it once to a crx but he said he broke his fuel level needle. I can't break her car, I hear her complaining about car stuff enough already.

Thanks
Matt

1) do not remove needles...they are then broken
2) do not put the faces on
3) throw the faces away

you should be able to slide the gauges over the stock ones with out taking the needles off b-careful not to brake the needles.

don't remove the needles..then when u put the needles back on they will read incorrectly.. like someone said earlier.. the face gauges should slide over the needles..
