Never changed one before. Any tricks? Yes, the trick is to realize the needles they advertise are just a cover, not the whole needle. You need to use your old hub and a stub of the old needle.

It would not lift off, trying to work a redo of the numbers. To do it over again, I would have left it on and worked around it.
