HELP White Face Gauge Install!


The gauge cluster is out and cover off but i don't know how to take off the needles to get the old gauge plates off. DId you guys cut them up or what? My new ones i think will slip over the needles. Is it ok for the needles to move? I've heard stuff about not correcting speedo needle... what should i be careful about???

Well first of all you need to take off the needles but get a piece of paper and note where their locations are at idle. Wait 5-10 minutes so you know it has warmed up and all. You will be able to record the 4 smaller dummy gauges (except fuel that's not dummy) and the RPMs. The speedometer you will have to adjust either on a dyno or matching speeds with a buddy on the road. Use a fork or a couple of flathead screwdrivers to get the needles off. Oh and its not just the needles it is also the black circle that the needle goes into. So all in all you will have 6 needles with the base still attached when you get them all off.

you may have to remove your 'factory' face or whatever, or you may have to glow your gauges down so the needles dont stick to it.
