Removing needles from dials....Whats the deal?

Hey guys going to be changing my dial faces for some silver anni ones with red needles. My question is do the needles just pull off and is there a technique to refitting them so there in the correct position. Don't want to ruin my clocks!! Cheers.

Been told to use a fork and gently lever them off.

2 tea spoons from 9 and 3 o clock, spoon under dial centre, the push them down simultaneously and it will come up nicely and not break anything.
