The odometer mileage on a used speedometer can be reset to the same mileage as your original vary simply. Once the unit is pulled out. You loosen the face. Then use needle nose pliers to pull the odometer retainer. Then pull the number rack out. Then turn the rack to the numbers you want. Good time to clean, and lube. The old belief that you can tell if an odometer has been changed. That belief is absolutely NOT TRUE.

Some of them had little pins which removing the clip woyuld cause to fall between the rollers - thus indicating tampering. The giveaway was there was essentially a narrow white line between each number. The cure was to take an old cable and chuck it in your electric drill and spin the odometer either forward or backward depending on readinng past zero and then up to whatever seems like a suitable number. Didn't even have tio take it out of the car, though it might take a daty or two if it was close to half reading. Of course, this is a completely academic discussion you understand - we'd NEVER do such a thing when foisting off a used ar on someone. <blush>
