Folks, my trip odometer stopped working. What a catastrophy!
This vehicle is one of the most service friendly, I used to use (just how boring - no need to remove the speedo-cable at the rear....)
Unfortunately, this applies to the F and G only. IIRC, you'll need to disconnect the speedo cable on the other models.
8 black philips screws to remove the dash bezel. It's easier if you put the gear selector in D, 2 or 1.
2 more screws (silver, hex head, 1/4") upper left and lower right of the speedo/fuel gauge sub assembly.
Just pull the whole sub assembly off the carrier. Careful not to bend the gear selector needle (no need to remove, if you're careful).
Turn the sub assembly to "tetris"-it-out.
Remove the trip-odometre-knob, its threaded on the extension.
Two more (black) 1/4" hex screws for the face plate of the sub assembly.
4 plastic clips holding the housing. pinch them carefully on the rear, just enough to get them through the hole. They might break, if too old/dry. Replacemend could be a rivet, I guess. Mine were very good.
Take the whole thing aport and take a close look at the speedo. In my case, everything worked fine, except the pink gear was no properly straight and did not turn the odometer anymore.
The weels for the odometers can be removed after removing the locking special springs at both ends. be very careful and definitely note from all sides, how they have to be reassemble. Especially the latches between the single digits need to be fixed properly. If you're really in need to disassmble further, its mostly rivets, so have proper rivets handy and be able to mount them...
Reassembly is just the other way round. To get the subassembly back into the dash carrier, you might have to wiggle/move it a bit to get it into its correct location (fit speedo connector as well as connectors for fuel gauge.
It was quite tight today at home:
