      Default Needle Removal Tips.

      Hi Guys,

      any of the experts here have any tips on how to remove the odometer needles?
      or know of any tools that will do this? i've heard of a bmw needle removal tool.

      do you just twist the needles anti-clockwise or pull them up?

      any help would be great

      cheers

      Easiest way I have found is use a pair of Teaspoons as levers to lift them up and off the spindle

      Twist anti-clockwise and at the same time pull needles upwards away from board. Easy.
