Take it apart, start removing the computer boogers (my magnet fell out of the spinner thing, don’t mind it).
This’ll show you where the wires and stuff are so you won’t break anything. Mine was dirty so I couldn’t see anything at all through the gunk. There’s a plate that sits on top of the wires, you’ll have to unscrew the screw holding it in and take it out first. You can see the hole where the plate was.



Make sure you remove as much boogers as you can, they dissipate the heat you need to melt the solder on the circuit board. Press your iron on the contacts and gently pry up with a flathead at the same time; it’ll take a little bit.



Replace your parts, cap the hole with a 3/8” rubber screw cap. Use a little silicon at the base for added sealing (I didn’t though). Really simple little job for a lot of cosmetic gain.

That’s pretty cool, thanks for posting that. Probably a huge $$ saver to have gone to a screw type mechanical setup. So is the odometer itself electronic? I have never seen this version.
