    Removing needle from 68 amp guage.

    Does anyone know how the hub attaches to the shaft of the gauge in the c3 small gauge clusters? I have a "restored" green faced amp gauge with the wrong needle and a broken white faced gauge with the correct needle. I'd like to swap them but can't figure out if it unscrews or is just pressed on.

    I feel kinda stupid not being able to get it apart but I really don't want to break it.

    Thanks for your help

    Pointer needles are press fit. Take care when removing/installing as most gauge shafts are delicately balanced on jeweled anti-friction movement bearings. Just lift off with uniform pressure around the center hub slide in on the same way without significant side loading.
