Hi, Im gonna put in a s13 cluster i got from the junkyard. but the mileage reads 270XXX, and my read 125XXX. I want to roll back the odometer on the new cluster. It looks easy to take off, but seems fragile. I want to know if theres an actual method to removing it. Thanks

Best bet is to use the factory service manual. Here's a link! There's also a couple videos on YouTube if you're not used to the FSM's layout, it can be frustrating.

Thanks but managed to do it. It was pretty easy. But when I put the needle back and installed the cluster the needle for the speed was stuck. I heard you have to put it back lightly or else they'll stick. I've tried it multiple times but it always sticks. Any ideas?
