Matt, I realize that i'm resurrecting an old entry but this one of yours is the closest to my problem that i have found.

I was removing the needle on a 1936 speedometer when I got a little too aggressive and broke the spindle. I read your pdf article but it does not deal with spindle replacement. I had intended to only clean and carefully lube the speedometer. Dismantling the number wheels, etc. looks like a serious opportunity for me to get in trouble. How hard is it to replace the spindle? I enjoy working on small detail repair and tend to resist sending stuff out for repair but maybe that's the smart way to go this time. Any suggestions? Anyone?

Bill, 

To be honest, I needed to review my prior document on this, as it was a while back and off the top of my head, I don't remember the finer details. I think that the spindle removal and reassembly should be a fairly simple additional task if you are OK with tearing it down to that point.
