reverse indiglo needles not going on help

[2good4uGTS]

ok so I was trying to install the AC reverse indiglo's.. I snapped the needles off, and I don't _think_ I broke the metal pin in the bottom center, but after putting the AC guage plate on, I can't get the needles to snap back into place no matter how hard I try.. I've pressed on these things REALLY hard and even took a hammer to it.. no luck except bending some plastic .. oops.. anyways, did I break something or are they just rediculously hard to place back in? the install guide says push gently, so I'm thinking I might have snapped the pin off down inside the gauge circuit board? help please

i think u fuked it....it is suppose to go in easily.....

Ouch.. that is sensitive part.....
It shouldn't have problem putting it back on...
It's kind of sqeeze out and sqeeze in..... but gently...
You gona have hard time replacing that needle.. caue dealer won't sell needle it self....
They'll just replace the whole gauge, costing arms and leg..
You might want to try importinteligent needle.....

ok, well, how do I get the broken part out of the circuit board underneath? there looks like a tiny piece of metal down in the hole from where I might have snapped it... so what can I use to get that out?
