Removing Speedo needle.

Post by Sigmaproject »

I want to swap over my speedo so that I have a working trip meter. The replacement speedo has a different coloured face plate . To replace the faceplate, first I have to remove the speedo needle.
Lots of different methods on youtube, but this one looks the easiest. Not sure if this is appropriate method for Sigma speedos though.

Anyone had experience doing this.

I have just pulled them off in the past by grabbing the centre and pulling the needle off.
Putting them back on I put it about 10-20km mark, push on and then turn back to line up zero.

**note this is with GC/D Galant and GH Sigma gauges I have done...

Thanks for the reply. On one of the old forums there was a guy selling white faceplate kits for Scorpion instrument clusters and I thought that someone on this site may have been around back then and did the faceplate changover.
Only one way to find out :thumpsup:
