Folow-up to speedo problem

[Ernest]

Hi all
Over the past day or so I have received some really helpful advice regarding my van's odometer (its stopped working!).
Now I have got to the point of having removed the speedo but am wary about taking the speedo needle off.
I have tried gentle pressure from between the needle and it the clock face but it doesn't seem to want to move and I don't want to break it by using too much force.
Does the needle just ease off and if so any tips on removal.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Best Wishes

Just taken mine of last week so happy to offer advise.... I read in other forums that you can use a fork to help ease it up, I just used my fingers and pulled hard Remember that when you refit it it lines up with the small dot that is the wrong side of the needle stop, line it up, push it on the gently ease it over the stop . If you dont it wont read correctly .

Ernest, you shouldn't need to remove needle to sort odometer.
