hey does anyone know how to roll back the mileage on a gauge cluster. i have a jdm one and want it to be the same as my old cluster. thanks.

 

is your old cluster KM too?

 

i only know how to do this on EK and DC clusters...never taken a EG cluster apart before, i assume theyre similar once you open them up...just gotta remove the speedo from the cluster, remove the needle, then the face...theres a pin that holds 4 or 5 small star shaped plastic pieces that aid in rolling the odometer...you have to remove one side carefully so that the plastic stars are not making contact with the odometer...once youve done this, they roll freely...so set the mileage, then return the pin back in place, and backwards assemble everything...

 

how do you remove the needles

 

as far as my experience says...you just yank on them...i know it sounds stupid...but just be careful...they do pull off...

 

to get the needles back in sync is the tough part. there are a couple methods of goin about that process.

 

pull straight off! do not bend or pull to one side, you may break the small shaft the needles are stuck onto.... ask me how I know

rolling mileage back is easy, just take th ecluster apart, use patience too, and spreading the washer/clips apart will help you roll back one number roll at a time until they all read '0'.

how would you go about getting the needles back in sync?

 

sounds like some people have done this a few times before... that'll me think twice before i buy my next civic from one of you. haha

 

bro this thread is 5 years old, if someone was gonna do it to you it has already happened i assume. if not, i also assume you have better sense than to buy from somebody you can obviously tell is trying to **** you.

cheers
