so, one bulb in odemeter in cluster is out...
How hard is it to replace, supose you need to get the whole cluster out and then change the bulb from the backside. That's how it works on my ´82 100 anyway.
Any thing i should be carefull about or pay ekstra attention to, so i wount break anything.
Owned the car for 4.5 years now, and this is my first cluster bulb that's gone out (except for the 3 aux. gauges, which is quite ease fix) quite impressed actually :-)

Easy fix!
Not sure what year your car is, but on my 86 4kq I remove the top dash part only, and that exposes the rear of the cluster, bulbs are very accessable from there. Be very careful though of the paper thin circuitry back there, it can tear. Also, note the contact points where the bulbs are, these can become problem areas as the bulb holders have become "fused" in place, hence the ripping of the circuit board.
I use a funky pair of pliers to replace the bulbs. I splurged and got the OEM bulbs which were 10 bucks a piece, but they are the best ones to get, aftermarket ones Ive found are cheap and give out crappy light. I also experimented with LED's, and had good success.
