How does this come off !? Options

[JuMPiiN]

Trying to put some white face gauges on and cant figure out how to take the black part off.

[cheela]

I thought you slowly slide the white gauges over those? not too sure. I've never done it before but that's what i've heard unless it was a different mod.

I never took mine off. And it works just fine, as the EL ( i dont know what you have exactly) is just an overlay.

[garin]

the needle does come off. it just needs to be set back correctly then.

[JuMPiiN]

I cant figure out how to take it off ive been messing with it for like a hour now. Seems pretty breakable and i dont want to break it.

[garin]

they come off. just wiggle it loose. don't get to mean and rough with it though.

[Spider77]

Dont take it off unless you need to! You got new gauges or overlays?

Ive been doing it for like 30 minutes lol. There aren't any screws holing it on there i took the 2 that were there off. I even tried to pop off the needle.

I did this in my cousins camaro, they were indiglow? or something i dont remember. But they just kind of slid under, never had to take anything off.
Do you have the gauges now? or are you just preparing? I would wait till you get them if you dont already have them

Don't take it off, calibrating is not easy. Most indiglo slide in. Almost nobody sells replacements.

[JuMPiiN]

i have them. and they dont slide over.
im just going to paint the black plastic part around the RPM and Speedo red to match and change the LEDs to red seem easier.

They do slide over, I have these things. I swear if you were local Id come over there and do it for you. Its not that difficult really.

[JuMPiiN]

lol i swear they dont slide bro. the hole isnt big enough for them to slide over the needle. the hole is literally the size of a pin tip.

JUST finished painting the piece and im going to find the LED's tmo to make it red.

The red looks nice, you need to post pics of these overlays you have

[JuMPiiN]

Will do.

[Spider77]

Yeah, do that. Then I think everyone will have a better idea of what your dealing with.

[JuMPiiN]

See the needle in the pics up there. Mine arent overlays its impossible to over lay these. The hold in the middle is wayyyy tooo tiny.

[njccmd2002]

please show the pics

[mgnt232]

well Read this page, it helps u with needles and everything else! http://www.diskusjon.no/index.php?showtopi...2343&st=240

To translate this page isn't easy but what can i say is that just use 2 spoons and paper under it and pop off those needles. After installing needles and gauges back into car, u might think why your gauges shows totally mess, no correct numbers at all. So I had to drive with GPS navigator to calibrate km/h and after it rpm gauges. Easy as it is. Just drive without needles and check your correct speed.. for example 80km/h and then just push the needle in correct speed. Maybe u should use friends help also to check correct speed all the time, so no need to crash or anything else. Rpm gauges are very easy to calibrate also, just turn motor on and off, then put the needle in 0rpm. Calibrating heat and fuel is not very hard either..
