Subject:Analog clock experts?

I need to know how to get the hour, minute, and second hands off the
clock's shaft thing.

Mellow Yellow's clock has never worked. I did the usual fixes
(capacitors, etc.) but it still refuses to tick. A fellow Vanagonite
graciously offered me a working one -- handed me the whole instrument
panel from which I could extract his clock. But it's from a later model
and there are various bits on the molded rear of the clock assembly
which are sufficiently different that I can't just transfer the clock +
fuel gauge + temp gauge assembly over. What I /could/ do is swap the
clock portion only if I could figure out how to get the hands off the
clock. Looks fussy. Anyone have any advice along those lines?
