Hello everyone,

I have a W126 1987 420 SEL that has a faulty tachometer.

I removed the tachometer from the instrument cluster and found the burned out transistor. In order to repair it I must remove the face, but for the life of me I can not figure out how to remove the needle for the RPM.

The hands of the clock pull right off. Does the RPM needle unscrew?
If so which way?

I don't want to break it so if any one has ever done this that can tell me how I would greatly appreciate your input.

Thanks!
