Odometer Shaft Removal

[Crass]

GSXR750L clocks.  So how does the odometer shaft remove?  I can't see a way of getting the speedo out of the mounting plate with the shaft in place, so I assume it comes off, but how isn't obvious.  I can't see a screw head down the hollow shaft and neither a crosspoint not flathead screwdriver is engaging with one.  I need to get the shaft off, so I can get the speedo out, so I can remove the bezel and repair the needle.  I know it's going to be bleedin' obvious but I'm having a thick day, please humour me.

You need a fine needle nose pliers to grip the metal shaft from turning. Now turn the knob in the opposite direction from reset. The knob is screw on. Sometimes they are glued back in place so you may have to break its bond.

The knob is just glued onto the end of the hollow metal shaft.  It's not the knob I need to get off the shaft, it's the whole shaft I need to remove from the body of the speedo.

The easy - possibly the - solution would be to cut a slot in the mounting plate with a dremel for the shaft to pass through.

Ah, with you now.

Sorted - no way I can see to remove the shaft, peeled back foam and cut a slot in the mounting plate with a Dremel and removed that way
