I'm in the same boat and googled how to remove the needle. One guy mentioned the "fork" method where you slide the tines around the shaft then gently pry, this method worked great on a spare tachometer that I have but so far hasn't worked on the speedo. The other method is where you hold the back of the shaft with vice grips and then try and twist it off, I haven't had luck with this yet either, but again I'm nervous about applying too much pressure and breaking it worse than it is. I still have both pieces of the needle so what I may do is just glue it back together in place and maybe put some skinny plastic bits underneath it to reinforce it from behind.
