Subject:Re: Speedometer Disassembly Question

Same thing happened when I tried (and thought I fixed)
it on my odometer.  That gold spiral spring kept me
from going any further.  I did a fix I thought would
do the trick but it has not, so I will need to get
deeper into it next attempt. That means getting past
that spring to be able to completely disassemble the
odometer mechanism to perform the other fixes I found
referenced.
