Default Tach Needle Removal

I picked up an OBC Tach to replace my standard unit. It is installed and works fine (including the temp sensor that I wired in), however the RPM indicator needle is quite faded and I want to swap the one from my original tach.

I searched the threads but couldn't find any description of how to do this (or if it is even possible). Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks Marc,

With appreciation to the p-car.com site here are the instructions posted there:

"Needle removal and calibration
In order to replace the gauge faces you will also need to remove the gauge needles, to remove the needles use your finger to gently turn the needle counter-clockwise under it reaches the end and continue to turn it with your finger in a unscrewing motion the needled should pull right out. Most of the needles just pulls right out, the only gauge I really had to turn the needle counter clockwise was the speedometer needle. To calibrate the needle after installation you will need to use your finger to turn the needle to the stop point and force the needles to pass the stop point and vice versa for the opposite direction."

I'll give this a try and see how it works!
