No need for checking beforehand as there is a small/tiny white dot
(sometimes two very thin lines) on the dial that indicates where the
needle should be in rest behind the stop.

   I use two long<br>
 screwdrivers to lift of<br>
    the needle of a gauge/clock/speedo. Clamp the<br>
 speedometer housing<br>
    securely, twist the bezel and take it of together
with<br>
 the glass,<br>
    put the tips of the screwdrivers under the centre
of<br>
 the needle<br>
    opposite each other and use the rim of the speedo<br>
 housing as a<br>
    resting point while gently levering of the
needle.<br>
 This way there<br>
    is no danger to damage the face although it is
wise to<br>
 cover it<br>
    with a piece of cardboard, just in case.<br>
<br>
    As mentioned before only lightly dust the face as
the<br>
 white paint<br>
    can dissolve in water when old.<br>
<br>
    Putting back the needle in the right position is
easy<br>
 as there is<br>
    a small white dot on the "wrong" side of the<br>
 resting pin. The<br>
    needle should point to this dot when
fitting/fitted.<br>
 When the<br>
    needle is fixed in its proper position just lift
the<br>
 tip of the<br>
    needle gently over the resting pin to the left
hand<br>
 side.<br>
<br>
    Use some clock oil very very sparingly to
lubricate<br>
 the pivots of<br>
    the needle assembly and cup only. Use 3-in-1 oil
to<br>
 lubricate the<br>
    speedo cable receptacle. Clean out the outer
speedo<br>
 cable as good<br>
    as you can using e.g. petrol/white spirit etc.
wipe<br>
 the inner<br>
    cable clean and sparingly grease the inner cable
only<br>
 using multi<br>
    purpose grease or graphite/molibdenium-disulfide<br>
 grease.<br>
<br>
    However be aware that if a speedo stops working<br>
 properly it is<br>
    usually time for a complete overhaul/rebuild.<br>
