Speedo Mechanism
The odometer reset shaft has a spring, small brass washer, larger copper washer, and felt washer to keep dust out of the can. Remove them, and set them aside.
Odometer Reset
Next you will remove 2 small springs. They are the springs that provide tension on the left and right arm, that advance the trip and regular odometer.
Springs
Be very careful with this operation, and remove both of these springs, and set aside. Note how these springs are attached. The spring with the closed loops on each end, goes on the trip odometer advance arm. The spring with one end open, goes on the regular odometer advance arm.
Note Spring Attach
The next step is to remove 4 screws, that hold the front of the speed, containing the odometers, and the rear cast part of the speedo.
Remove the shorter of the screws at the bottom, and set aside.
Retaining Screws
Remove the other three screws at 9, 12, and 3 o’clock, and set aside.
