In Reply to: to change the odometer mileage.. posted by berto on March 04, 2002 at 11:47:25:

of the individual. It's really not that difficult but does require that you have steady hands and patience. If you're easily frustrated I wouldn't attempt it, send the speedo off to a repair shop and have them reset the mileage.

how difficult do you believe the work to be ???
is it a do it yourself kind of project or is it a days work of bangin my head against the wall


requires that you disassemble the instrument cluster to get at the speedometer. Then you must actually disassemble the odometer and reassemble it with the new mileage that you want it too reflect. Also remember the conversion from miles to kilometers.

the milage on an instrument panel.. Geting a new inst. panel and want to put the exact miles I have out of the old one i am taking out.
I thought about taking a pic of the old one and keepin it with me as recomended by friend and seller..
