[QUOTE="2003tahoe, post: 2407, member: 145"] After you have marked where the needles left off its time to get the fork out ( not to stab your self in the thigh :D) to remove the needles, During this process make sure the metal rod holding the needle on is in the middle of the fork to get even pressure ( when doing this dont put alot of pressure so you wont have to buy new ones to replace the one that got messed up. [ATTACH]75.vB[/ATTACH] once you have all the needles off the faceplate with all the gauge backings will need to come off to do this step you will need to pick up on the faceplate backing and remove it from 3 prongs that hold it in place.( I placed 3 needles to show were they are at ) [ATTACH]72.vB[/ATTACH] Now that you have the faceplate off you will see why i chose blue in color because the stock one is more of a aqua blue to show green with regular type of bulbs, dont try red with the stock backing i did and tryed it at night it wasnt any fun because it wont show through the blue backing. [ATTACH]74.vB[/ATTACH] After that is done you will need to remove a clear holder that makes the faceplate backing stay flat, the clear part is held in by 3 plastic rods that go in to the white housing that covers the circuitry on the front and covers the warning leds from going from the turn signal light to say the check engine light. Also with the rods i did the same and put 3 needles to show the locations easier. [ATTACH]71.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]73.vB[/ATTACH] Now that you have the clear part out its tome to remove the black backing, this is removed the same way as mentioned above with a screwdriver to release the tabs, one tip is to keep the white housing down so the circuit board will stay still with out moving and without the risk of breaking the board.
