the needle rest pegs/pins are very easy to remove...
once u have the needles off u can remove the dial face,
turn the dial face over and look at the section behind the pin, u will see the pin is made of plastic and the back has been melted to keep it in place,
just use a smalll craft knife to gently lever the melted plastic up basically unsticking it from behind the dial face,
then u can simply cut away the melted part,
once u have cut the excess away u should be able to push the pin towards the front of the dial and it will drop out,
i would do this in bright room, preferably above a table so you dont loose the pin,
once u have taken the pin out, u can push the same pin into your new dial face and secure it at the back with a dab of glue...
hope this helps...

and when u are done u might end up with a result like this...
