Howdy,

Any of you guys have an idea how to remove the trip speedo knob? I've already unscrewed the set screw, but it's not pulling out. I don't want to damage it so, if any of you guys have an idea, please let me know.

Thanks,

M

You're lucky, I couldn't even get my set screw loose!

Try drop some penetrating oil down between the knob & reset shaft.

I had the same problem on one of my speedometers. I used a combination of chain oil & Goo Gone. After a few weeks, I was able to pull it off exerting about 20lbs of pull. Don't know how it happened, but there was some sort of gummy crap in there.

I'll give the penetrating oil a shot. I'm just afraid if I pull too hard I may damage the shaft.

Thanks for the tips.
