Got it figured out once you have it taken apart it's fairly easy just popped the little pin out and had my way with it. Thanks for all the help guys.

Do it the way Ferris Bueller would. It works on my 84 cluster, not sure about the newer ones. Just hook it up to a drill and have at it.
Your '84 cluster is cable driven. 85-88 clusters are electronic

A long time ago I got an buttstuffog '83 Coug (Silver) cluster and set it back. I don't remember the whole process, But I remember it wasn't very hard. Mostly just tapping out a metal pin, rolling the numbers as desired, and tapping the pin back in place.
Though it sounds like it's harder for an 87-88.

Run it up to 200,000 miles, it;ll reset back to 100,000. I read that a long time ago.
