In a recent post I got some good answers on how to reset my 
odometer.  How in the world do you get the speedo apart?  I took 
the lense off, undid the two very flat nuts in the back, undid 
the screw in the back and even the two screws holding the gauge 
face on.  I still cannot get the guts of the speedo out of the 
housing.  I tapped it from behind but all that did was loosen 
all the idiot light lenses which promply fell all over the 
garage floor. HHHEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLPP.  I may just take the 
BIG hammer to it and beat the crap out of it just to make me 
feel better.  If it makes a difference, this is the 140mph deep 
set speedo.

Carl,

If the speedo proves too crafty for you, I have one here that 
reads 22635 miles.  Also deep set, 140 mph w/o km indication.  
It's yours if you want it

Dunno nuthin 'bout no Spider speedo, but on

to get them apart.
