Pull out the cluster, remove plastic front, slide the reset button off (just pull and twist, carefully i'd assume), there are 2 little flat screws in the front; undo them and the cover should come off...There should be two screws in the back which holds it in place; undo them and out comes the odometer/speedometer. At this stage u can actually wind your clock but i wouldn't advise it if you have already replaced the cluster and didn't change it then.

As ive notcied as putting my old cluster back together (was lying in pieces in my room). You'll have to remove the top part of the cluster by the five screws at the top back. This will give you access to the front screws; some which were hidden (8 total screws in for the clear cover i believe) once this is removed then you can access the insides. Do the steps above to get it out, and use a fork (or something similar) to lift the dial off (take care). And when putting it back on you might have a bit of trouble, took me a couple of goes to get it to rest back on the stopper, (will be very inaccurate if it doesn't rest)...Im 3 km out but that was testing with another car not a radar.
