Yes, I did. When I bought my BJ8, the odometer was stuck on 51,755. I
opened the case and found that a spring and small lever arm had fallen off.
After I put them back the odometer worked fine (and still does, after 81,000
miles), but I figured if I didn't know the true mileage I might as well
reset it to zero.
That was 23 years ago, so the details of resetting it are a little fuzzy.
But I do remember that the individual wheels of the odometer can be
separated from each other by a thin blade, and then they can be rotated
without affecting the adjacent wheel.

...and, man, do they look good.
Th only issue I had--and this is my fault--is that the "new" speedo has a
mileage that is not true to a "zero" timed engine. I neglected to have
Margaret et al set it to "zero". Otherwise, they are perfect.
Anybody ever reset their mileage?
