Using this guide: http://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/odometer_fix.php

Of course, I'm already stumped at the first step. How on earth am I supposed to get the vents off?

Thanks, this probably won't be the last of my questions.

Read my post at the top of this forum and it will give you step by step instructions and things to watch out for. I think it does refer to the Mathews site also if I remember correctly. The vents just pop out. I used a very small screwdriver to pop them out by lightly prying on the side of them. Watch you don't lose the little springs on the sides that hold them in.

Ah, I was trying to loosen them with a screwdriver, but it seemed like there was a plastic thing holding them in, and I was afraid to break it.

Yep, they just pop out. I have found the ones on t he drivers side to be a bit harder to pop out then the others. Might just be particular to my ride though.
