1950 Dodge Speedometer ?

While waiting on a machinist (354 Hemi), I'm going through other imperfections in this car. Has anyone removed the pointers on 1950 Dodge speedometers? I need to swap out the face plates. Some say they pull off w/ 2 spoons,lady slippers or pry bars. I'm not one to force something if I haven't looked into it 1st. They both work fine, I need the one that matches the cable, however, the face plate doesn't match.
