how to crack open s13 hud cluster and rewind milage?

I did it to my cluster to reflect the true chassis mileage. Its very intricate and tedious. To remove the spindle of numbers you have to bend the little metal tab up. When you bend it up you have to bend it back down when you install the new set of numbers. This little tab can only take so many bends before you'll break it off, so you don't have many chances to fail at aligning it correctly and getting the gears to mesh properly.

Took me many hours to get it perfect. The key is study it carefully and work very slowly.

So I can just take the spindle of numbers off my original cluster and replace the one on the hud cluster I'm planning to install?

Anybody come across a write up anywhere? Detailed images would help..

Before removing the numbers you will want to put a little strip of tape across them otherwise when you take it out they will fall out of order.

I think your excuse for wanting to roll back your mileage is completely pathetic. i hate when 240 owners think their car is the fucking best thing in the world. if your car has 175k your car has 175k. its just a 240

its nothing special.

Slow down turbo. Most of these cars odometer are exempt. If I bought a car with 65,000 miles, I don't want to look at an odometer that's got 175,000 miles.
