[@ArbenZilci]

After watching a lot of different videos, this showed fitting the screen the best without wasting time, thank you :)

[@akspeedo]

Glad to hear that!

[@Ralgexthecat1]

Good video, However it would have been useful if you showed how to remove the cluster needles,

[@OLMercadoJR]

What’s the yellow tape that is used

[@tedokinta]

How do you remove the needles from the motors? I tried holding the shafts with pliers and twist/pull them out, but the needles are attached verry firm and the shaft started to slip and pull out of the ring with the leafspring.

[@MrSpookbot]

You need to hold above just above the shaft spring with some fine nose pliers, put some tape on the front to stop scratching the fascia

[@ronramos1613]

What kind of yellow tape did you use?

[@akspeedo]

Just use 12mm wide clear tape, cheers

[@mattholmes9626]

Do I need to buy the yellow tape? There's no soldering involved?

[@akspeedo]

No soldering

[@bbrf033]

Is the yellow tape included? If not, what brand is it

Good restore display. But problem motor sensor spidometer. Fuel _stahometr_engime temperature_work one speed sensor motor. Old time 1998year

You really should’ve told us how to correctly remove the copper spiral spring that is attached to the needles and how to place them both back correctly so we dont severally mess them all up and need a new dash. I almost messed up my fuel gauge needle because of this. Im sure once you can get those off and know how to put them back on in the correct positions this is a fairly simple job. But the fact that these needles have a copper spiral spring attached to them it became 1000000x more difficult than shown in this video. Serious flaw in the replacement steps for these videos and super misleading. Anyone else who tries this i hope they see my comment first. @akspeedo

Ribbon kit is supplied with instructions, and a template to access the 4 clamp screws, we recommend this way, so customers don't need to remove the needles and reset them, needle removal kit available on our website www.akspeedo.com/ BMW page, if you wish to remove the needles without damaging the pointer motors, James

How come you guys do not take any anti static precuations. You are touching the pcb and the components as though they were made of wood and you have no static elctricity at all on yourselves. 1st lesson is to fully earth yourself with an antistatic wrist strap.
