I have had them tore down to the last nut and bolt when swapping in a different Differential and using the spedo from the doner car. then you need to adjust for the correct milage.

this is also a good time to fix the possible slipping potmetal gear.

Oh yeah, that brass spur gear is on tight. The key is getting it off without bending the shaft. But it can be done. Or you can use the old spur gear on the shaft by removing it from the odo completely.
