(goldfish) Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Before cracking into my cluster I just got from ebay and breaking all the needles (i'm good at that), Is there an easy way to change the odometer reading? It's for a '97 leg. It feels like cheating to make it read the 27K from then new cluster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nipper Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 its also easy to rest the milage if the reason your chaning is bad odometer. Why are you chaning the clusters. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(goldfish) Posted December 14, 2005 Author Share Posted December 14, 2005 Still no takers, bummer. Guess my '97 will now have 78k less miles on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 well experiment with one of the clusters, its easy to change the milage, just pry up the little plastic keepr that snaps in the odometer set your numbers, then push it back on nippper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(goldfish) Posted December 15, 2005 Author Share Posted December 15, 2005 I guess, that's my last/only option. I am just wary of opening these. I broke 3 needles on my datsun's cluster by being careful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These things are modular, come apart real easy and you dont have to remove the needles. Just carfully unsnap the cover, and there are screws in the back of the panel.

(goldfish) Posted December 30, 2005 Author Share Posted December 30, 2005 It's not to bad.. Once you get the speedo out, the white holder gears pop up nicely. Still you have unprotected needles to be careful about. Thanks all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
