Gentlemen:

Was attempting to replace the speedo needle. Upon trying to bend the tabs off of the needle the needle appeared to break lose showing about a 4-5mm of the shaft? Does this part press in, or is it one direct shaft all the way thru?

How do I fix? Am I in for new speedo?

Did you hold the shaft with needle nose and rock it loose or just yank it off? Was there play(4-5mm) before you removed? The speedo is kinda touchy and hopefully can be fixed. My 4t6 was pressed on. This most likely didn't help. I'm sure someone else had a similar problem and will chime in. Some pics of my speedo repair here. Have fun and good luck
