Why is there a restocking fee?
Well the first reason is that it was in the terms and conditions on checkout. However there is a better reason. Honest companies charge restocking fees for a very simple reason: to keep costs (and thus prices for you) down when dealing with the return of items that are not defective. There are a lot of costs associated with processing an order. If you buy something and then return it, there is more costs to handle the return.
All returns must be thoroughly inspected when received back at the warehouse to ensure they are in 100% resalable condition. New packaging materials usually need to be utilized because it is typically only designed to be used two times (initial use and possible return shipment). Time and materials involved inspecting, repackaging and restocking are not insignificant. The bottom line is restocking fees help keep prices low for you!
For this reason we do not accept returns on any used or previously installed products. We will not sell used products to our customers who are expecting brand new Garagistic parts. At times we may have to charge a higher restocking fee on a return if the parts are damaged during the return shipping. It is your responsibility to ensure the safe arrival of the parts you are returning to us. Thanks!
KM EURO E28 (528, 535, M5) ODOMETER GEAR REPAIR SET
Please note!
This is E28 odometer repair gear set is for KM, VDO Euro spec cluster odometers only! Like most odometers in classic BMWs, your E28s odometer probably long stopped counting miles driven and trip odometers do not work. We have a solution to fix this problem without breaking the bank, with some basic tools, some time, and our gears; it is an easy fix! These are the 12 gear,12/48 gear, and 17/48 gear. If your third gear count is different please let us know! E28: EURO KM spec. 1982 to 1988 528, 535. M5 (includes E, ES and S models).
Every Set Includes
The three gears that needs replacement are included. We no longer include two spacers since our newest design includes a stand off (post) that keeps the gears spaced correctly and moving smoothly (just like the original OEM gear design). The factory gears become soft over time (imagine how a stale Oreo cookie would feel when broke in half; that is what the gears in your current broken gauge feels like). These gears are quality made with better then OEM material with a quality fit and finish. These gears will outlive your car! When purchasing our kit be sure to check out our INSTALLATION GUIDE.
PLEASE NOTE: YOUR KIT'S GEAR COLOR MAY BE DIFFERENT FROM PICTURED

TOOLS NEEDED:
- Assortment of philips screw drivers
- needle nose pliers
- flat screw driver
- a little patience
TIME NEEDED:
- About 45mins. This is something that takes patience. You're dealing with lots of tiny pieces.
STEP 1
Remove the Philips screws in the back of your cluster. When placed down, be careful not to brake the tabs!
STEP 2
When removing rear panel, take note of the two lower tabs and be sure to pull straight up or damage to connectors inside may happen.
STEP 3
Remove the 4 Philips screws that hold the odometer in place. Before you try to take out the cluster, do not forget the connector on the right side of the cluster. There are tabs that hold it in place. Once this is out you can pull straight out because there are connectors holding. DO NOT BEND! We found its best if you hold the cluster as it was placed in the car that way it doesn't fall out.
STEP 4
When odometer is out, you will see the gears on the side. There should be three. See the damage.
STEP 5
There are two screws holding a clear cover over the gears. Remove them.
STEP 6
The gears can then be replaced in the order they are taken out. They fit in an interlocking stacking setup. Notice that the gears are very soft and will fall apart as you try to remove them. NOTE: There is a brass bushing on the smaller 12 teeth gear. It is on the shaft and needs to be removed to install the new gear. You do not need this bushing with the new gear. DO NOT TRY TO PULL THE BUSHING OFF WITH ANY TOOLS AS THIS WILL DAMAGE THE MOTOR.
(the way the brass bushing looks removed).
STEP 7
Put together in reverse order. Be sure you have gotten all the old pieces of the gears out so you have no future problems. Before closing everything, be sure to run the gears by hand to make sure everything is right and working correctly.
Do not forget to install out spacer to keep the gears space correctly. DO NOT PUSH IT ALL THE WAY DOWN AGAINST THE GEAR. THIS WILL CAUSE THE GEARS TO PINCH AND IT WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MOVE!
ENJOY! No more guessing when the next oil change is!
