45 minutes to remove the instrument cluster, fix speedo and re-install? Hard to believe. I took mine out and crimped the gear in question, replaced all the light bulbs and re-installed. No way you could do that in 45 minutes. Plus, now my speedometer is about 8 to 10 mph off. The crimping lasted less than a year. I don't know if it was worth it or not. I have a my lights working, but the speedo is off and the odometer still isn't reliable. I won't tear it apart again unless I have a new gear to put back in. Also, I would pre-load the speedo needle spring about 8 mph.
