On my beemer, I was able to pry up the crimp, then
slide the can opener blade of my swiss army knife
around the ring, pop the ring off, operate on the speedo,
reseat the ring and fold the crimp back over again.
Dunno why they make 'em like that. It's almost as if
they were deliberately trying to make it difficult for
owners to operate on. :-)

Who has ever seen a speedometer that was designed to be repairable by
the owner?
Are there even any companies that repair automotive instruments at
all?
