The gear indicator in your photo is the 71-72 style. Is the replacement "needle" also a 71-72 style? Will you be replacing the fiber optic line that lights it up? The photo below shows the components of a 67-70 indicator, although the little L shaped lens is not shown in the correct orientation in the photo. The housing has two delicate little feet on the bottom at the wide end that are disengaged from the colum by rotating the housing left or right prior to lifting up on it. If you pull straight up, you will likely damage the feet.
