Complete speedo disassembly issue
Tearing apart my speedo, the speedometer works fine, the odometer is creeping along at 1/10 actual. I'm at this point in assembly, and I cannot seem to get the odo reset shaft off to remove the mechanism from the bucket. I haven't broken anything yet, and I'd like to keep it up, suggestions?

It should take an "0" size Phillips with a long shaft. It often is seized on the shaft. Maybe spray with some penetrating oil. Using a small hammer, and being certain the phillips is seated, tap on the screwdriver head. This often helps to break it loose.

It's pressed in. While the reset ****** is a screw mount, the shaft is pressed onto the same shaft that supports the gearing etc.
I threw it in the woods and bought a $60 Drag Specialties speedo, since HD wanted $165
