I'm wanting to get the gauge needles that 6le offers.

Unfortunately I have no idea how to remove them or swap them and I couldn't find a thread for it. lol

So how do I remove the needles from the gauge face, then swap the needles themselves?

Pop off old ones by using a clip/trim panel tool and push the new ones back on. Its easy

Gotta ask....

Would a fork work?

After looking at some of those tools it seems like a fork would work

Turn car on, take a few pics of where the needles are at. Turn off car. Use fork to pop off the needles.
Put new ones on where the old ones were based off the pics you took. Put them a little higher, because they tend to "fall" into place/settle.
Turn on car, see where they lay, if wrong, pop them off and retry.

Are you asking how to remove the needles, or how to remove the cluster and open it?

So are you talking about the four smaller that tend to stay in place after the car is off that I need to make sure are in the same location?

I'm asking how to remove the needles, then take them out of their little hub

I'm talking about ALL the needles.

Ok sweet, thanks! Now how do I remove the needle itself from that little circle it's in?

To remove needles from their "hubs", you have to drill out the little plastic rivets that hold them in. From what I'm gathering from your questions, you may want to pick up another cluster to practice on...

Yeah, that's probably a good idea, I think I might go check out a junkyard and grab one

6LE offers to install them for you. Or send you some ready to be installed on your cluster for a core charge.

Guess I should've read a little closer on their page. That's what I'm gonna do
