      Open it up and turn the gears forwarg or back works but it would take forever if you did it by hand. Maybe rig up simething with a drill?

          Hey ay least I gave it a try. I think the whole concept of turning odometers back is a bit hokey anyway.

                As far as I know, you can only roll it forward, so you would have to go all the way forward until it reached zero and then add on from there. Jordan did this with a drill. Left it on all night IIRC.

                    Then use a dremel shaft otherwise prepare for a tired arm.
