I remember seeing a photo somewhere but I cannot remember where. Here is what most people do.
1) Get 2 identical metal tea spoons
2) Put it on either side underneath the needle with the lip of the spoon right underneath.
3) Put a masking tape on the odo surface where the spoon touches it to stop any scratching.
4) force down gently on the spoon handles at same time, the spoon will be like a lever, and the needle will pop out.
5) I did it on a number of gauges with great success.
Hope this help.
