Guys,
When driving thru a mountain pass this weekend it got pretty bumpy and the Speedometer needle fell off!?! How do I take the guage bezel apart to try and fix this? Thanks for the advise in advance.

You will need to remove the cluster from the vehicle. Most use screws to hold the glass (for lack of a better term) to the rest of the cluster. Unscrew. Install the needle. Reinstall into vehicle.

Question Guys, how can you separate the plastic clear cover from the bezel to gain access to the speedometer needle?
