The reset knob should move the dials...turn it both ways as well as push up on it while you turn. You also have to remove that knob as part of the R&R on the gauge. It's held in place by a plastic clip. GENTLY wedge an awl or flat blade screwdriver to release the clip. As I recall I did this procedure AFTER I did the following.
Once you get comfortable (LOL), first remove the reverse gear box on the back of the speedo. It's hand tight...it should turn off with the built-in knurled nut. You can also reach and unplug the light that goes into the back of the speedo. Next, simply back out the two knurled nuts that hold on the speedo. They rest against a U shaped bar that presses against the back of the dashpad...that's all that really holds the gauge in place. Once you have your nuts out (LOL), then you can push the speedo out through the front. Before it comes completely out, you can GENTLY remove that plastic clip that holds the reset knob...it will be easier to get to at this point.
Now with the speedo out of the way, you have clear access to the other gauges. Well, as good as it's going to get anyways! LOL
Simply reverse the procedure for tying it all together and everything should work. Make sure you set the cable firmly in the new gauge or your speedo needle will bounce like a ping pong ball.
