Re: Resetting Odometer
Sounds like something is hanging up somewhere. How accurate is the plastic piece you made, size wise. Here is how I made mine.
The thin plastic piece that is discussed in this thread is made out of a brittle material on purpose. It is almost impossible to disassemble the speedometer without breaking it. When I re-set mine to 0 miles in the Suburban (new crate motor) I also broke the plastic piece. I used a piece of a plastic container that a slip on seat cover came in. It was the correct thickness and was not brittle. I cut it oversize and put the broken pieces together laying on top of the new plastic. I then misted very a light coat of Grey, sandable automotive primer over the top of it. You have to have the paint can far enough away that it doesn't blow the pieces away but it made a perfect outline of the piece on the new plastic & made it easy to cut out. LockDoc
