How do you remove gauge pointers
 

Is it possible to get this pointer off w/o breaking it? I've tried pulling and prying to no avail. Also, is there a source for the day- glo orange/red pointer paint? Let me know if you want a bigger picture.
Thanks,

I always use 2 flat screw drivers to pry it off. Also place a piece of carton under the scretdriver to not scratch the gauge panel.

Wow, the 3.2L car gauges had mostly linear numbers, but the numbers on that thing are crazy.

I've also had great luck using a fork. Just be careful. If you want an "official pointer pulling tool", PM me...I'll send you the one they sent with my gauge panel overlays if you wish.

Steve: The numbers are for calibration, they are hidden when the gauge is in the housing.

roux: That would be great. I'll PM my address.

Pat, got your PM...The tool will go out tomorrow morning. Glad I could help.;)

Although I have not used it on the temp. gauge...(used it on speedo, tach, clock only)... I'd be tempted to go to a hobby shop, buy some paint, slide a sheet of paper between the needle & face, and just paint the sucker!

Thanks for your help, the tool worked perfectly. I put it in the mail today.

Glad it worked out OK for you Pat. Always happy to help out if I can.
