You definitely could, but pending where your odometer is it may take awhile...just easier to remove and reset....
Basically gotta remove your dash panel....unscrew the speedo from the dash panel tin....remove the pointer by lightly pulling up on it....remove the two screws that hold the faceplate....remove 2 more screws from the top mount cross bar....slide the odometer to the left and it should pop out...if the plastic piece that holds the tumblers is still there pop it off the tumblers and reset to zero by lining up all 5 tumblers....If not, make one out of rigid plastic bottle (I used an old plastic juice bottle and cut it out using an exacto knife)...
When putting it back togther, make sure that the 3 tumblers fit down over that piece of metal sticking up and the rolling gear on the right fits back together...hope this helps!
