My odometer has stopped in my 85 300SD. Yes the speedometer still

(there is a local; shop that has worked on various MC spedo's for me
that seems to be competent. I have been reading the PDF (from the
indiees) numbered 54-250 R and R instrument cluster. Some of the
instructions are a little sparse, like steering wheel . remove,
reinstall. And the use of Extractor hook PN 126 589 03 33 00. Is an
extractor hook something I can make / improvise. Do I need to remove
the steering wheel? If so what is the best way to go about it.

I'll bet you reset it while you were moving. Don't do that anymore.
www.odometergears.com $25 any gear. You can make hooks out of wire
hanger but you should be able to remove lower panel and wiggle a couple
of fingers behind the IC push it out, no need to remove wheel. Unplug
your wires and pull out the rest of the way. No oil pressure line on
your model. The speedo repair isn't too bad to do, don't go getting
sneaky and knocking miles off while you're in there.
