You can remove the glass, that's exactly why I did mine.

Thanks Tony. I just wanted to make sure I hadn't chosen the bad choice…. So, the reset/mileage button just comes off.

Like I said, if swapping the whole cluster works if the correct coding plug is installed before hand, wouldn't that be a simpler solution?

Much appreciated for the write up @t-tony. Used it this week to replace some illumination bulbs. Those little plastic coupling on the back are a fiddle.

I used my railcard and 12 years expired student matriculation card and slide them between the pod and mounting brackets. Then x2 Allen keys pushed up through the unbolted mount brackets and pulled back. Slid right out.

When I did mine all those years ago it was a first time, so I just spread a towel on the kitchen table and kept taking bits of till I got what I wanted.

It sounds like a firmware problem. Mine over-read by a significant amount when my coding plug failed and EEP-1 was displayed in the mileage field. There's no adjustments accessible by simply removing the cluster. Here is a thread which may help
I get EEP_2 in cold weather (like < 3C) but the over-reading speedo is there regardless of temperature. I thought there were some trim potentiometers on the back of the cluster, that's what I read somewhere...
