Hey guys,

So i picked out a new cluster today, and had no trouble removing it and my old one. In terms of changing the mileage i found that the numbers will not roll backwards, which was expected. However by undoing the whole assembly i was able to switch the number spools around so the new gauge now reads the correct mileage. The only problem was that inorder to do this i had to remove the needles. Now that it is all plugged all the lights work but all the gauges are wrong and out of place.

Anyone know how to reset the guages?

I changed the spools of numbers out moving my actual miles into the new cluster....

I tinkered with it for a while and it is pretty much impossible to roll them, but swapping the pieces was really easy....when i find my camera i will put up some pics of what i did
