Re: '97 Cluster R&R, no tach, now have I one

I have a new cluster coming to me in the mail now. I the odometer is only gonna be about 9,000 miles more than what i'm at now. I'm not sure if thats a big enough deal to try to hasle with but if i do, what did you use to pry the Neddles off, I'm sure there easy to snap. And i'm guessing you just pop the needles of and pull the black background off and its pretty self explanitory from there to swap the odometers from there

Edit;
I ended up swapping the head units between the 2 clusters today, so I now have my original miles showing.
Took me about 1.5 hours to dis-assemble both units and get everything back together. IHad to remove the plastic/glass cover, then pry out the gauge units, remove a circuit board from the back, then exchange the heads. No wheel turning required.
Got the tach needle off by about 100rpm, and the volt meter is off by about 1.5volts, but I save readjusments for another day.[/quote]
