What I did was took the gear off that goes from the worm gear on the odometer motor, and stuck a drill on the end of the rod. Only had to go back 1k but it took like 5 mins
You have to find the right amount to hold the button in that resets the trip counter as well, otherwise it tried turning it back as well and will snap the clips on it.
