Odometer Setback

This guide demonstrates altering the odometer reading, either for decreasing and increasing read mileage. Popular to match a used gauge cluster or new engine to your actual mileage.

Step 1

This is a very simple process, First you need to remove your gauge cluster from the car, remove the clear lens and black gauge face back drop. Now unscrew the center Speedometer from the back of the gauge cluster, drop it out and proceed to remove the gauge face from the odometer assembly. This can be done by simply removing the 2 front screws and manipulating the face around the needle. You can remove the needle, but it can be a challenge to put it back on to be exact.

Step 2

Use a small screw driver and slowly pry out this long white gear.
