Subject:      Speedometer repairs '84
Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII


Hi,


I have a question on speedometer dismantling.


My old speedo became unreliable (showed 17% high), but the
odometer was good.  I got a "new" speedo from a donor.  It is right
on, but the odometer doesn't work.  I thought I'd dismantle them
and make one good one.  However, I can't get the needle off (the
needle must be removed to get the facelplate off, which must be
removed to get to the innards...).  I can't find a set screw.  I've tried
some solvents for superglue, etc, but it doesn't work.


Does anyone know how to get the needle off?


BTW, I searched the archives, but couldn't find anything, to my
surprise.  If I'm wrong, please let me know.


thanks,
Dale
