The needle is retained in the slide by the white plastic retainer cap which is visible in 1 of the photos. The retainer cap is released by turning it counter-clockwise about 1/4 turn. There's a small spring under the retainer cap that puts pressure on the needle. The needle can be shimmed, but that's about it. Mine currently has a .47mm shim.

OK NOW I FEEL LIKE A DUMB ASS,,HA SO I GOT IT OUT NOW THE PIN #IS A "KT90" TO RASE THE SLIDE I NEED A LONGER PIN ,RIGHT? CAN ANYBODY TELL ME WERE I CAN GET ONE? DO I NEED A SHORTER ONE TO MAKE IT RITCHER ,higher up the clip in the notches, the leaner the adjustment. To richen it, lower the clip's position.

THAT WOULD HELP WITH MY MELT DOWNS ,HA

That needle does not have a "clip". All you can do is replace the needle or place a shim under the head of the needle.
