well i got it back to 0mph.. i held it so the needle will drop to 0mph while shaking it until it move itself back. at around 30mph it just move right back to omph.

i havent installed it back since im still waiting on led's. also i never pulled the needles off.. i will as soon as the 6LE overlay gets here..

thanks for the help

All the needles are removable, just make sure your problem is not a problem with the fuel sender before you adjust the needle.
