    Make a sketch as to where the needles lay because your gonna have to get them back in the exact spot and dont push them on too far or they will drag on the overlay and not read properly

    I agree with cktk, Fork works wonders.

    Lots of shops down here don't even do the white face gauges any more due to the problems of getting the needles on accurately. Take your time and be really careful.
