Use two screwdrivers and pry straight up around the base. Be very careful and make sure you pry straight.

You can use a fork to pry them straight up without hurting the needle. I did it that way when I installed white guage faces

Yeah, a sharpie works fine to color the needles and they come in a bunch of colors. I went with red, I like it a lot.
