Grasp firmly and while applying some upward pressure, rotate it carefully counterclockwise. It is press fited on the shaft.

to remove the needles on the gauges use a piece of cardboard placed on the face,
then a fork placed under the needle base if with gentle pressure the needle wont pop off,
try using some heat from a soldering iron on the fitting, then use the fork
