I want to use my old face and install the new unit. I need to remove the needle to do so. Anyone had experience with this? Need particulars. I would like to advance the odometer to reflect the actual miles on the truck (60,000) and don't want to mess up the plastic mechanism. Any / all help is appreciated. Have not posted for some time due to restoration of LBC / Triumph Spitfire. Thanks for all replies.

To reset the odometer you need to disassemble the unit. Pay attention when you take it apart, there will be a test later. If you are mechanically inclined, go for it. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 2,644 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 2,644 | Never took one off a repop, but I got the one of my original by taking a small screwdriver and gently rocking it back and forth until it came off. Putting it back on is nerve racking too... so I just drilled mine out so that it fit smoothly over the pin and used a little 5-minute epoxy to keep it on. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | OOOoooooo Woody. Hope you don't NEVER have to take it back off....
EDIT:...but then a new one is less than five bucks!!
