instrument gauges; not forks or track gauges
Oh brother!
There are classic car restorers who have worked on this problem before. Maybe their forums will be more serious!

speedos
I've pulled apart various speedos .. series 1 Land rover, Jeep, Morris Commercial ... to remove the needle .. I use a pair of scissors .. I carefully place the tips beneath the needle , at its hub , apply upward levering pressure
The needle flies off with some force , and I've lost a couple of them as it flew off somewhere . That's interesting about Stewart Warner ... the contemporary Jeep gauges look similar, but are different apparently. SW was a GM owned company I think ? A Jeep ammeter would suffice as it's a generic instrument . Fuel gauge would be tricky ... has to be matched to the Chevy sender unit . Mike

Internet Research
Hi all and back on track Terry. I did some Google research on needle removal and surprisingly most of the advice was exactly as I do it. Grasp the needle with thumb and forefinger and gently twist. It was suggested that the needle be first rotated to its maximum speed stop but I overcome this by grasping the shaft with pointed nose pliers. To re-install simply place the needle on the shaft in its correct position and gently tap into place. Here again I use the pliers to minimise the concussion through the shaft drive train.
