I used the above mentioned instructions, which are correct, but they do not tell you how to get the odometer mechanism out, so you can adjust the pot-metal gear! I managed to figure out a way to get it out but then I did not adjust the gear enough and it stopped working again. Boy this takes patience. I thought getting the speedo out took patience, this is turning into a week long project. Two days to get the speedo out and two more to adjust it (Sorry to vent). I will have to update the instructions I sent to some of you with the way that I removed the gear.
