And i'm guessing you just pop the needles of and pull the black background off and its pretty self explanitory from there to swap the odometers from there

You don't need to remove the needles, or the face cover either. But if you do, the needles just pull straight off. I replaced the needles on the donor unit because they were faded, while my original needles still look new.
Here's what you do. Remove the glass cover from the front of the cluster (4 screws). Next, the clear plastic cover that the gauges are mounted to is push-fitted into the plastic housing of the cluster. I evenly pried around all the edges of this plastic cover to get it out. You'll notice that all the gauges (4) have round pins that compression fit into sockets on the cluster housing. Once you get this clear plastic cover out, you remove the circuit board from the back of the gauges (2 small screws), then you can remove the odometer (3 screws) Very simple proceedure.
If you want to PM me before you do the swap, I can e-mail a bunch of cell phone pictures showing you exactly how to do it.
