How did you get the original hands off the old clock  shaft?
 
I snipped the minute hand shaft, then I was able to work it off. The hour  
hand was removed after the minute hand was removed. I then shaped the clock  
kit's minute hand like the OE minute hand, and super glued them together. 
This  was mostly because the clock kit uses a rounded rectangle shaped 
opening, and  by the time you get the OE minute hand off, it'll have a round hole, 
that  won't lock in place. A small knurled nut holds it in place. The hour 
hand  fits the clock kit like it was made for it.  

I used a "long shaft" clock kit from Walmart (4.99) to do my conversions  
with. I added a 3/8-16 nut for a spacer, to help set the depth of the  
mechanism, and clear the clock face with the minute hand. You do have to open  the 
holes in the housing, back face, and tin cover to get it to work. It  
doesn't need much, but a little more for it to all fit.
Here's a link to the pics.
