Default How do I not break the needles?

My buddy just gave me some white face gauges for my 98 GT. I was just headed out to put them on but it says in one of the step to use the "two tools that came with the gauges." Well like I said my buddy just gave me these off his car, and he doesn't have the tool. He's at work so I can't ask how he did it, but what can I use to take the needles off without breaking them since I don't have whatever came with the gauges when he bought them?? I'm just cautious cause I put white faces on my old Probe and busted all the needles cause I didn't know what I was doing Thanks guys!

if you must take them off, use a fork to slide under the needle and pry it up.
