Removing speedometer needle on a 911

I am curious as to what you used and how you did it. I am thinking of doing it on my '76 Carrera. Need to replace the gears and this is the only way of knowing of how many teeth there are. I know most everyone was sweating bullets at least those that posted here, I don't know anyone who did it without any stress.

Hi BC,
I might be mistaken, but most needles, VDO and Smiths, just pop off. Squeeze the boss between thumb and forefinger.

Hi Chris:
I don't know why others have not had that experience on removing the needle.
