What is the trick to remove the plastic trip odometer knob on a 75 914???? I don't see any screw? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

We're the late ones plastic? I thought they were all steel, but I don't get as much exposure to original 75/76 cars.

If it is steel, the best way I've found to get those troublesome little screws loose is to find a good fitting screwdriver. Not close... Perfect fit. Then grab a small piece of sheet metal (flashing) to use as a heat shield and one of those torch style lighters. Carefully apply heat and penetrating oil (not WD40) a few times. Then heat once more and try to unscrew.
