C. Remove the (3) Phillips screws (usually black) and slowly remove speedometer assembly tilting the top toward you. You do not have to unplug the white plug in the back of the speedometer for this install. You can but you will lose your trip meter mileage and clock settings.
III. Removing Speedometer Plastic clips and needles

A. There are retainers on each side of the speedometer (one square and one triangle), just slowly pull up on the face and save it somewhere safe in case you want to go back to stock.
B. Line up the new face on the two outer marks and on the square on the speedometer hole. Clip on the black outer ring to help hold the new faceplate in alignment.
C. With the car running refer to your diagram that you drew for the correct needle placement and GENTLY press each needle onto it’s proper location (you don’t have to press hard for them to work properly)
D. Snap clear bezel on and re-install lining up the (2) outer dowel pins of the speedometer assembly, re-install all (3) black screws and clip on outer bezel and snap back in the push pin and you’re finished.
