Hey guys,
So my Creamsicle has finally seen a road after about 1.5 year of jack stands time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) Now the speedo didn't work so I changed the cable. I see other cars passing by like a rocket while going at 65pmh so the speedo needle is way off??? I will check this with a GPS today. Anyways, the odometer is not working at all. This is a bigger problem. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Has anyone encountered the same and succeeded to repair??? The speedo works(barely) but odo does not. Let me know. Thanks, kkid (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Yep, I used to do it that way. Problem is when you do it that way, the face dial can bump and rub on the back side of the needle and scratch the face, or worse yet bend the needle. With great precision and surgical hands, it can be done.
Keep in mind when putting it back together, you will need to make sure all the upper following gears are in the right position with each respected odometer wheel, including the pot metal gear. All this needs to be done in situ of pressing the drive shaft thru the pot metal gear. Many things happening at once, especially if you are going the glue route, its very easy for the face dial to hit the needle. |
