This has never failed for me. Sometimes when taking delicate things apart, I will warm them up with a hair dryer first. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2009 Posts: 554 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2009 Posts: 554 | The commonly available "speedometer needles" are just a cover that slips over your broken hub. Don't make the mistake I made and toss out your broken hub hoping to attach the new "needle" later.

If I had known that I wouldnt have broken mine trying to get it off! | | |
