Do they just pull off does anyone know?

Me no expert, but I've never seen a speedo or tach needle that wasn't just an interference fit on the shaft... So if you pull the needles straight - eg perpendicular - off while supporting the shaft, should be fine.
He said, confidently...
A dab of something that sets (but not like stone) might be required to stop them slipping on the shafts after. Loctite blue maybe?
Delicate work though; given how much of a hassle they would be to replace, I'd probably try to find a shop that rebuilds instruments to do it. Or failing that, an old-school watchmaker.
A quick Google throws up some people to talk to, maybe:
