4kcs -vdo odometer repair

[SHOWMX@aol.com]

I know this subject has come up before but in searching the archives it seems
as though it was never completely resolved.  Can the speedo needle be
succesfully removed and how without permanently damaging it? 

 I have taken my dash apart at least 1/2 dozen times in the past month trying
to repair the odometer.  It decided to stop soon after my car turned 100,000
miles.  I have manually advanced it and works untill it becomes time to turn
the hundredth digit.  So every hundred miles I'm tinkering w/this thing!!! 

If I can't remove the speedo needle myself and succesfully repair the
odometer, what's next??  Is there some place I can ship the assembly to for a
quick repair?

TIA,
