    Ya I saw those clips, but the metal clip that holds the pin on the top of the odometer is bent in on the one that I have and I don't want to try and force it since I've never done it before and don't want to break anything. Better to pay some money and get someone experienced to do the work.

    I just have a good look at my spare odometer and it's easier then the video. I just used a pair of wire cutter and gently pry open one side of the clip. Lined my number up and tape it with a piece of tape. Now the tricky part is that those white gear has large and small taps. I didn't count then but I would say 5 of each (0 to 10). The number 7 is where the large tap get to hook-up with the preceding number. In my case I just reset to 0 so I just line the square part of the gears and the small taps to fit between the rolls. , but I don't think it matters as long as the tap doesn't rest on a 7. After I reset the odometer I just used a pair of pliers and gently clipped the shaft. Hope this make sense as I'm replying under the influence of alcohol (it's darn hot here in Vancouver!..more beer please)

    I was bored last night so I decided to try what you said and it worked!

    I used a small flat screw driver to GENTLY open that clip just enough for me to pop one end of the pin up. I was able to adjust the numbers I needed and now it reads 101,000 km! Woot!! Held everything in place with my finger while I put the pin back into place. Had to do it a couple times to make sure the teeth of the gears lined up properly. Used a pair of needle nose pliers to close the clip. You can tell that the clip isn't as tight as it was before, but everything is solid.

    Now all I have to do is wait for my LEDs to arrive from StreetFX and I'm ready to go!

    Thanks for all the help guys!
