Hi Tom,
Yes, the needle is a press fit on the spindle. Best to lever off
carefully, with a lever on each side under the spindle base, but you can
just carefully pinch the base and lift it off. Just be sure to pull
evenly so you don't bend the spindle.
The needle stop is spring loaded; press it in, let the needle drop past
and note where the needle sits in normal (vertical) position if you want
to retain the existing calibration (should be close to a tiny white dot
in the '-5MPH' position). You'll also need to disassemble the tripmeter
reset shaft to finagle the guts out of the case (it can be done).
Attached is the canonical 'how to' for Smith's speedos.
