faulty odometer

Post by waynek »

Hi All,
My odometer is not working but the speedometer is ok.My question
is, can the speedometer be disassembled at home and are
replacement parts available?

Thanks to all

I had a VW speedo do that and I fixed it at home with no parts required. The fix was a tiny dab of JB Weld on the shaft and gear that spun. Its was a press fit that no longer pressed fit. If you are mechanically inclined you can probably figure it out pretty quick on the work bench.
