I removed my whole cluster today but i don't know hot to remove the needles ?
I don't won't to brake anything.
Have someone here tried to remove the needles ?
Need quick help !

DO NOT REMOVE THE NEEDLES!

if you remove them, youll never get them back on right, and your gauge cluster will be broken.
if your installing glow gauges, you do it without taking the needles off.

Who can i put my new guages on place if i can't remove the other ones ?
I have seen a lot of 6Gen celicas with white guages.
I bougt them from www.birba.com
Please tell me how to do : )

I have removed my needles before. But the only way to get them back on right is to leave the gauge cover off and have someone drive beside you doing the speed limit. Then u set your cruise control and drive at that speed limit while putting the speedo needle at the speed the other driver says your doing. Then the RPM needle you just start your car let it heat up and then set that needle at where it usualy rests when its idleing.

wow!--why did you remove them in the first place
can't you put new gauges on without removing them

The needle just pooped up now so i guees i am sreewed.
I have to try to fix it like someone said but does anyone knows how you remove the little pin that stoops the speedometer and the RPM meter ?
Sorry for bad english

very very easy to do,
have a full tank off petrol,
warm car up to normal temp so the temp needle sits at its normal positon,
then take the dials apart, disconnect the cluster and remove,
take the plastic cover off the cluster and refit in the car,
turn key to ignition but dont start
u will see the temp needle move back to normal position,
now switch bak off,
gently lif the speedo needle and rev needle over the rest pegs and le them drop down to there rest position,
now turn key back to ignition but dont start and u will see needles move to the rest pegs and stop,
make a note off where the needles rest,
now turn off the key and remove the clocks from the car,
now u can use a spoon or a fork to lever off the needles,
gently insert the dome off the spoon under the needle and push,, the needles will come off,
take off the old dials, fit the new dials, fit the needle rest pegs, and take cluster back and replace it in the car,
now turn key to ignition but dont start,
now fit the needles at the positions u marked earlier, fit the speedo needle gently as u might have too recalibrate that one later,
once u have the needles back on,turn of the key,
now gently swing the rev needle an speed needle back over the rest pegs, now u can start the car and the needles should go bak to their original positions, revs should be at normal postion, temp should be in the middle, and the fuel should show full,
go for a test drive to see if all needles work well,
at this point if u have gps or sat nav u can use that to calibrate the speedo needle, but it should be acurate if u have followed my guide correctly,
if i isnt remember i asked to fit the speedo needle gently, just pull it ff, and where the speed on the gps shows u say 30mph, fit the needle pointing at 30mph,
once u are happy, go back home and put the dashback together...
have fun..

p.s mods are welcome to make this a sticky, and if u wish i can write a more detail version....thankyou...

Thank you, my newest problem is how i remove the pin that stoops the speedo att zero ?
Can you write a more detail story also ?
I would be so happy then : )
Thank you so much // Fredrik

the needle rest pegs/pins are very easy to remove...
once u have the needles off u can remove the dial face,
turn the dial face over and look at the section behind the pin, u will see the pin is made of plastic and the back has been melted to keep it in place,
just use a smalll craft knife to gently lever the melted plastic up basically unsticking it from behind the dial face,
then u can simply cut away the melted part,
once u have cut the excess away u should be able to push the pin towards the front of the dial and it will drop out,
i would do this in bright room, preferably above a table so you dont loose the pin,
once u have taken the pin out, u can push the same pin into your new dial face and secure it at the back with a dab of glue...
hope this helps...

and when u are done u might end up with a result like this...

Okey. Thanks for all the help.
I hope it will stil work even if i have me needles of.
Your gauges looked really good : )
Did you just paint the needles with a spray can ?

thanx,
u can paint the needles with a spray can ut its far too messy,
i just used a small brush and painted them by hand, 2 coats is all it takes, and the paint u can get from hobby shops really cheap,
u dont need a lot of paint at all,

I did my needles with spray, but masking took forever especially with the little curves on the arrows. oh yeah, krylon fusion is good to use, it doesnt require prepping and is for plastics.
