Default does anyone know how to take off the Stock the Needles on a cluster???

I'm thinking about swapping the needles on the stock cluster with red ones, does anyone know how to take them off? Don't want to mess up on anything that I should not do.

Just take your cluster out, take of the plexiglass, and use 2 spoons, put the end of the spoon scoop on one side of the needle base, and the other spoon on the other side and push the spoons down slowly, your needle should slip right out. I did this on my cousin's del sol.

I wouldnt do it unless you have to. Why not just paint them red. Iv had my share apart, even being careful iv seen one or two not work when put back together. Not often but it does happen. I painted my da needles orange to match autometer gauges came out nice.

Just mask and paint. Taking them off has never worked out for me in the end.
