But the new ones have 60K odd and the CORRECT mileage is 40K odd so i just want it to be right.
How do you mean exactly with a small screwdriver?

Not really, as long as you line them up properly. I changed mine because the rev counter clocks i got were 26k out.

what cable are they driven by?if its manual i believe u can connect a drill to the cable and put the drill in reverse... ive never done this myself tho, you dont have to change the mileage as long as you dont pass it off to be any different than it actually is, so it might be better to just live with it

Takes too long to do that. I tried with mind and after about half an hour it had moved like 1 mile. Even if you could make it go faster the clocks only go up to 130/140mph anyway. Will take a long time to go back 20k at that speed.
