Hmmmmmm. Remember that one time when I changed the cluster out on your car Stallison?... LOL... Or, did I just change out the clock for the tach, and ODO gear? Could have been the whole thing. I'm pretty sure it was a K10042 that was put back in... Why the heck did I need a new cluster? Oh wait, now I remember why I changed it out. The Moose Sticker guy had a post about cranking the speedo needle off counter-clockwise or something. Completely lame advice. Don't do that. As I quote from his site, which he's since edited...
"After gently lifting the needle over the ZERO stop pin, release it and take note of its resting position. When re-installing, this is the position you want the needle to be in.
To remove the needle, grip the center plastic hub of the speedo needle and turn it counter-clockwise (toward the "MPH"). Be careful not to put pressure on the thin orange needle pointer. It can snap off in a generally unpleasant way if you do.
Since the internal mechanism inside the speedometer was already locked by you, you will be turning and forcing the needle counter-clockwise until you feel it come loose and get easier to turn. Now you may turn it back and forth, while at the same time gently pulling it toward you. It'll come off in your hand without any fuss.
In the unlikely event that you break a speedometer needle, there is a supplier of these listed in the "Resources" section near the top of this page."
Seriously tho. Don't do that. ^^^ It stuck, snapped the internals, and completely junked it. and when I complained about that advice to him, he told me and I loosely quote "Oh well. You must have done it wrong." or, "it rarely happens."
In conclusion. My bad if that's the case, but no moose sticker is ever going on my brick.
