'95 WRX clocks
I am guttered! Replaced my clock faces for some white Lockwood ones. It came out looking really good but i fooked things up. I snapped the fuel tank gauge needle off and my rev counter is running super delayed. Does anyone here know how to get the needles off the correct way??

The fuel and temp gauge needles cannot be removed on those clocks, easiest way is to cut a slither out of the dial face to enable you to slip it under. (a bit late to tell you now, i realise).
The rev counter needle will probably be pushed on too far when you refitted it, try pulling it back a touch. |
Nice one mate, i have just got another set of clocks off Ebay, will have another go.

To prise the speedo and rev counter needles off use two tea spoons and gently lever them off, but make sure to do it evenly.
When refitting do not push the needles back on hard, very gently otherwise you will press them in to far and they will break, words of experience, very costly also lol |
For the rev counter i had to start the engine and then put the needle on at 700rpm position as if i put it on with engine off at zero it was out .

Nice one guys, i am sure i will get it sorted this weekend!

yup,its very easy once you do it.
just follow your eyes with a screwdriver,dont be afriad to bend a tab or 2,they are meant to be,and you will see how easy it is. the bar that goes across the digits needs to be removed and then its a game of rubix cube ha ha good luck bud |
