anyone who has done a gauge led swap

im currently working on it..and im stuck. anyone know how to remove the needles? i dont want to just pull on them...

 

...nevermind. close thread. hah

 

re open hah..ok guys...i need someone to take a picture of their cluster..specifically the fuel needle..i want to know where it sits when the truck is off..I marked it but I just want to make sure...i searched google and couldnt find a clear one...thx!

 

If I were you, to be safe I'd fill up gas tank & place the needle on, set at full. I think that this would be more accurate than placing while it's turned off. When the vehicle is turned off the rotating rod that the needle attaches to, turns further than it's allowed to than it would with a needle attached to it. The needle stops it at it's the lowest point, but if no needle, it can actually turn beyond that spot if no needle on rotating rod. I would fill up & then place needle as close to where it was before when u had a full tank. Oh and do this with vehicle on so that the cluster is actually engaged. That's just how I'd do it though. Operator preference.

 

i was sitting at 1/4 tank before the mod...after putting everything together i am still at 1/4 tank...but when its off, the needle goes a little further than it used to...ill give it a go...i have to fuel up anyway. thanks!
