Speedo needle puller

[Tony Lum]

Hi gang,

Had to do some speedo repairs and to remove the face plate I had to pull
the needle off.  I just found that Wiha Chip Lifter, tool no. 268 10, is
the perfect tool to do this.  It has a slight curve at its end with a slot
in the middle that just fits around the needle's shaft.  I've broken
several needles by levering against the round top part of the needle, the
Wiha tool applies pressure down low against the brass sleeve that is
pressed onto the speedo's shaft.

For those not familiar with Wiha, they are German made precision tools.  I
got a whole set of 4 screwdrivers and 3 phillips plus the Chip Lifter as a
bonus for < $20.


Regards,


-Tony
