On pre 1954 trucks you can remove the radio speaker grill to gain better access.
When re-installing the speedo, used knurled nuts instead of hex nuts. You can spin them on with your fingers. It's a lot easier.
The bezel comes off by bending a few tabs with a small screw driver. The needle can be put back on the tiny shaft with patience. It's a press fit. They sell new needles if necessary.

I couldn't find a specific video demonstrating needle replacement. Perhaps another Bolter has a link to one they can share? Hope the above linked thread offers sone needed help.  BTW - Your topic best fits in the Interiors forum, so your thread has been moved there.
