Scottster Posted March 26, 2008 Report Posted March 26, 2008 I've seen this done often, where people replace the needles with something from another/similar cluster (Ford Contour/Mercury Cougar for example) that's not what I want to do...I was just putzing around with my spare 88/89 cluster. Just wondering how GM fastens them, and what the process is to remove them if anyone knows? Quote
Brian P Posted March 26, 2008 Report Posted March 26, 2008 usually just pull straight out (evenly!!) Quote
1990lumina Posted March 28, 2008 Report Posted March 28, 2008 There are a few ppl on here with those/had those aluminium bezel backings on their cluster - so removal of needles was necessary there. I'm gonna say they pull straight fof too though. Quote
Scottster Posted March 28, 2008 Author Report Posted March 28, 2008 I tried pulling straight out rather hard, but it didn't give. I'm worried about damaging the mechanism for the gauge. Could heat maybe help, if there is glue involved? Quote
jeremy Posted March 29, 2008 Report Posted March 29, 2008 there should be any glue....did you try using the two spoons? Quote
Q-Ball Posted April 2, 2008 Report Posted April 2, 2008 If you find the answer, I'd love to re attach mine one day in the GTP. Quote
5speedz34 Posted April 2, 2008 Report Posted April 2, 2008 ^LOL. Two spoons would work. But ya, they just pull out. Quote
Scottster Posted April 3, 2008 Author Report Posted April 3, 2008 Yep, using two spoons worked like a charm. Piece-o-cake. Quote
93cutty Posted April 3, 2008 Report Posted April 3, 2008 I just did this on my trailblazer. I used a fork to gently slide underneath. Then just apply some pressure and they should pop free. Quote
