I think it is screwed to the chassis of the speedo & the needle should just pull off.

But you will need to get it re-calibrated as the needel positon will relate to a different speed...

1980 DHC TR7-V8 (was an 8V, then a Sprint)
Back on the road after 3 years restoring...

It's MUCH simpler to just swap the entire speedometer out.

Got to agree with you on that Odd, but would you have to change the gearing for the 140 speedo Odd?

No, the gearing is only dependant on the rear axle ratio.
