Put a small screw driver under them or get the gauge removal tool. They pop off but you have to be careful.

I dont know if you have seen the tool that you use to remove the needles but it looks like a fork and you just push it between the gauge face and the base of the needle and it comes up. You might try a small screw driver. They do just pop off yours just might be stuck on a little harder than most.

I replaced the gauge face (added trans temp gauge) on mine. Came with a tool to remove the needles. After a couple times I was just pulling them straight off with the fingers. Fairly tight they were yessss..
