Very easy - pry the bezel of the speedo carefully open with a small flat screwdriver and open the mechanical part. Be careful not to touch the very sensitive spring attached to the needle - it will lose accuracy. The odo has a small pin that holds the numbered wheels in place. Pull the pin out, and re-adjust the digits to 0000.0 and replace pin. It is a lot easier than it sounds!

Be very careful to powdercoat a front beam, I tried it once. Even though I thought I had sealed the ends good enough, the grease inside the two beams became thin oil in the powder coating baking process, and spoilt the whole thing.
