My car is a 92 Civic VX. Have had it since it had 64k (10years now). I have taken the cluster off and know how to do that. I had a really hard time pulling the needle off the speedo and gave up 'cause I didn't want to break it. I assume it will come off becasue that is how people would change the gauge background to white or whatever. Do I just give it hell and pull harder, or is there a trick?
