the ajustment for the pointer is a screw on the steering coloum
loosen and the needle will move,it has to be removed to get cluster out

Be sure the check out your state laws. Some states do not lawfully allow the replacement of odometers.

Other than that, just pulled the dash cluster and remove the metal clip on the back of the odometer. Then insert the replacement odometer, install the metal clip, and reinstall the cluster cover.
