How to fix busted odometer? 200

posted by  someone claiming to be geodonuts on  Wed Jan 14 21:10 CST 2009 [RELATED]

OKAY I JUST COMMITTED TO BUYING AN 86 245! woo hoo for me. thing is: the lady selling it swore it had just 197K miles on it, which the odometer rings true. yet test driving it today i learned that this is some kind of quantum mechanical position of opinion, as the odometer does not actually move when watching it during a drive down the road (eyes were mostly on the roadway, however). going over the maintence records, it is revealed that it's been broken for about 18 months, but luckily (no) former owner only drove it like 4K per year or something, so it's not too far off and i can assume that i'm buying a car with similar mileage.

anyways, how can i fix this? can i take the odomoter out and manually mess it back to working order, or do i have to find a replacement somehow? What would YOU do?

THANKS SO MUCH!!!
