removal of odometer knob
« on: July 09, 2008, 13:28:02 »
I know I have seen this discussed before, but can't find it using the site search engine. Of course, being a senior person, the memory of what I read before yesterday no longer abides in the vast cavity between my ears.
I am removing the glass from the speedometer and the odometer (tripmeter) knob won't pull off. I didn't want to break it. Does it pull off or does it come off another way?
Thanks,
Joe

Hi Joe. I am only going from what I think I read -- the knob comes off with the glass not through it. Hopefully someone will conform confirm -- [freudean slip?] but I don't recommend pulling.

It has a little circlip on the back of the glass. You must remove the glass then the knob can be removed from the glass

You were right; the knob comes off with the glass. Glad I didn't brute it off!
All is well (for now).

How do you get the chrome bezels off to get to the glass?
