I installed the RJautoworks gauge cluster overlays and am trying to remove the needle stops. I broke one of them already, so I am trying to find out how to remove the other without breaking it and where to buy a replacement for the one I broke. I went to Autozone, the guy looked at me like I was crazy and couldnt recommend anywhere to find a replacement.

I just used some needle nose pliers and squeezed the clip on the backside of the stock face to remove them. The only way you can get new ones is to get another gauge cluster, though, or make your own.

i've heard you can use earings to make needle stops... or use them from another toyota

I used a piece of a black plastic toothpick and superglued it in place. That was almost 2 years ago.

I broke one of my needles at the base taking mine out and just superglued it back together
