Odometer Gears

[1968KdFWagen]

So I have taken my speedometer apart and I am looking to reset the mileage, but I cannot pull the shaft that the odometer gears ride on.

I do not know how to fix this. All I can say is it all works fine for me with what I use, Firefox.

I did both of mine. Just be very careful and try not to take any gears off the shaft. Jeff
