          I didn't take mine off either. It took a bit of screwing around but I got my overlays on there without taking them off.

              Use something with an end similar to a hammer's backside.. or use a hammer's backside, I didn't have any problems... but you hafta be careful of course, especially with putting the needles back on

                I used a fork to take mine off. Just make sure you put all the needles back exactly the way they came off. Not many cops will take the excuse that you redid your guages when you get pulled over for doing fourty-two in a twenty-five, lol.
