Firstly gently lift the tip of the needle over the stop pin and allow it to come to rest, it might by worth gently flicking it a couple of time to get the true resting point. Mark the resting point so that you can re-fit the needle in exactly the same place.
Next, heat the top of the needle with a hair dryer until it is hot to the touch, then gently lever it off using 2 table spoons. Do not use force because or you will end up breaking the spindle. And do not try to remove the fuel or temp needles.
