Reseting speedometer needles

[MikeRay68]

I recently put a new gauge face on my speedometer cluster, but this required me to take off the needles, i think i put them back on correctly, but i;m not for sure, what would you do to get them back to normal, and if there isn't a way would i have to go to the dealership?

do they not work now, or are they just inaccurate? I replaced the face on my old P/U and before I took the needles off, I used a china marker to make a mark on the old plate where the needle stood. The fuel gauge came out a little off, but other than that everything was fine. If you are worried about temp or oil pressure that are off, do you remember where they normally were at running temp? Maybe you could adjust them while the vehicle is running or warm it up, shut down and move the needles.

they work, but i think there off just a little, but i'll try starting it and then reseting them like that.
