Well, I did finally get that needle off. I just pried it off. I was worried it wasn't going to work right because it wouldn't turn freely. It was bent, so I tried to bend it back. Now it turns ok, I hope it registers correctly. I dissassembled it to the point where I could roll the mileage forward. I took the gears off of the motor that drives the odometer (it is _not_ electroncically driven like the speedo) and found the culprit gear. It is the one that website in my first post sells. I'll be getting one from him after I search my city for a specialty instruments/clockwork shop.

On another note, do you know how I could wire up a temporary engine temperature instrument so I can tell if I've lost fluid or whatever could happen.

Thanks,
Nathan
