300e Speedo dial removal

[Mercedes Fred]

ok, here's the deal:

ive removed the insturment cluster doing all the the things that one must do, like disonnect the sppedo cable and im looking at the the actual speedometer instrument component, removed from the insturment cluster, as my odometer is not working and wish to fix it.

ok, in order to frig with the cogs, you have to take the metal facia with all the speed numbers on them; thats fine except i cant get the actual dial itself (the orange thingy, the "hand") off the spindle. im afraid that if i f**k with it too much it will break and they look real fragile;

any tips or experiences with how to get this thing off real easy like?
