I just did this, flip the needle over the little post at the bottom, (so that
it's to the left of the post) it should be pointing to the little white line
on the edge of the face, if not, mark where it's pointing.  Pull the needle
off of the face, it's a little tight but it does just pull straight off of
that post.

when you put it back, make sure the needle is pointing at your mark or the
white line when at rest.
