the whole unit ie motor or just the needles themselves?? just use 2 spoons either side and lever them up applying the same pressure on each of them, they will come off, you think there going to break but should be ok, mine have been off about 10 times no problems

pull it up a little bit with long nose pliers, then grab in with you finger and thumb and gently pull.
and pred, the rev meter motors for the needle, they keep going all mental
