1940 Speedometer: How to remove needle?

Can anyone tell me how to remove the needle of the speedometer of a 1940 gauge cluster? It's a 100 mph speedometer.
The gauge is in working condition, but it's pretty rusted and paint in bad shape. I need to replace or repaint the speedometer dial.

It looks just pressed on, but I'm not brave enough to try to pull it

It is just pressed on. Look at it for a week or two to get your courage up, then very carefully go for it.
