Either a fork or the special small tool that looks like a fork but its thicker. I am not sure of the specific name for the needle removal tool.

RE: getting guage needles off

It's a good idea to draw your gauges on a piece of paper, then draw a line EXACTLY where you pulled the needle off. Place the needle back on EXACTLY where you took it off.This will help the accuracy of the gauges.If you get it just a little bit off, the gauge will not work properly.
