Just how is the needle replace? I see the rod were the needle would go and there is a green cap on the end of it however I don't know if this cap should come off or not and am afraid force it. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | yes it comes off - should be part of the needle, as you'll see when ya get a new one - grab the shaft w/ a pair of long nose pliers and pull the old one off .... carefully, so ya don't bend the shaft

I didn't hurt the shaft, but the old needle was completely junk by the time I finished yanking on it. Take that as caution for when you install the new needle on the shaft.
Anyone know why it is possible to buy a new cluster, complete with the speedo/odometer (~$125) but not ONLY the speedo/odometer works?
