My odometer just recently stopped working, so I thought I'd go to the dieselgiant page: How to Repair Your Broken Odometer
The explanation at the end is a bit vague, isn't it?
Anyway, I decided rather than to take out the pin and threadlock the pot metal gear (somehow), then reinstall and deal with the phase gears, etc. for an hour, I would try a shortcut and see if it works.
I pulled off the copper ring which was securing the pin, then simply slid out the pin a little, and attacked the rod with a needlenose vice grip. I don't know if I deformed the shape of the rod, but I sure did put some deep grooves into it. Then I just pushed it back in, and pressed on the brass ring again. It is grabbing the inside of the pot metal gear just fine, now.
