is it possible to do it w/o taking the pcb off? im nervous about messin with the odometer... :dontknow:

 

[TreTuna]

It "is" possible, but very unlikely you will be able to get to the LEDs with the proper angle to do this without taking the odo off. I'm be nervous though man, it's really very easy to do.

the odometer is pretty easy to pull out. just pull it up and then pull up on the side towards the opposite side. hardest part is just making sure when putting back together all the pins line up and slide in like they are supposed to. sometimes they can bend and not go in properly.

it's fairly easy work, you just have to take your time and I MEAN TAKE YOUR TIME. lol, seriously though I just did mines on sunday. just take your time and the results will equal to time well spent.
