Take heed of the first reply and lift the needle over the stop. Note where it comes to rest. Replace it in the same position.

I can't envision what tool you mean but remember that the faceplate is thin and prying with a lever can leave an indentation unless you protect it. Work in a box or a sack. I know that sounds weird but the needle may go flying once it yields. Best to contain it.

Also, the faceplate screws are brass and easy to tear up. Be firm, but be careful.

It is easier to change the mileage than indicated below. I can't describe it at the moment but if you need help post back.
