It took some time to decipher your question because of your lack of punctuation. Re-facing gauges is tedious work. If you are in too much of a hurry to type correctly I doubt you have the patience to do a good job on the faces.

The speedometer needle will pull off the shaft. The other needles will not. You have to carefully slip the face decal over the needle and get the decal lined up properly before setting it on the surface.

Be sure you get the face clean and lint free before placing the decals. Microscopic imperfections become big bumps when the new face is installed.

The odometer wheels must have the numbers installed in the same place as the original numbers to properly function. Before cleaning them, make a scribe mark on the side of the wheel exactly between the 0 and 9. After they are cleaned the numbers will be gone and the scribe mark will be all you have to go by.

As I said, it is tedious work. But the pretty new faces will look nice.
