== From the discussion ==
* To get the bronze insert off the drive shaft, squeeze it hard with side cutters, then slide it off with your fingers. Prying can pull the shaft out of the magnet ([[jmc1590]], and Jeff at odometergears.com).
* Order the E28 package from odometergears.com — Jeff knows the tooth counts. You do not have to count teeth on a destroyed gear ([[jmc1590]]).
* Some '86 528e clusters have a small circuit board soldered to the clear gear cover. That cover will not come off like the one in the photos; forcing it breaks it. A later-style gearbox/speedo without that board swaps in ([[filmy]]).
* There are '''two''' blue (blau) elbow connectors on the cluster, plus white (weiss). One blue has two wires, the other has one. Mark which is which — they feed cruise or the temp gauge ([[filmy]]).
