How do i get the needle centered back correctly, so that gauge reads perfect? also, where can i find decals or face plates. i saw where your battery or volt meter display was numbered? if you can help me out. thanks in advance, Clark.

I didn't use any special tools to remove the needles, just pull them off with your fingers. What needles are you trying to remove? The '96 S10 needles are not hard to remove at all. To get the needle back on in the right spot, you need to power the speedo up which will move the stepper motor to what would be 0mph, then put the needle on in that spot, otherwise the needle will be off unless you just get lucky and happen to get it on in the right spot.
As for the voltmeter overlay with the numbered face that looks like what a 67-72 would have had if they had voltmeters, I pretty much gave that to Tom, Tbone1964.
