The Odometre is pretty easy to fix but it can be a bitch. The tools I'd recomend to use are a Jewlers set of screwdrivers and a saringe (like what heroin adicts use). More than likely your Odo isn't working because there is a metal gear slipping on the shaft that holds all the number wheels. With the cluster disasembled, with the saringe and take in a bit of super glue then inject the glue around the metal gear. DO NOT OVER DO IT WITH THE GLUE. You will only need a super small amount. Let the thing dry and your set.
I haven't actually tried the saringe method yet, I thought about it after disassembling the entire cluster and taking the shaft out that holds the numbers, its a bitch to get working correctly again.
