On my 70, you either have to push up and turn or pull down and turn. Been way too long since I have tried to turn it.

Default Trip mileage reset

Frequently “frozen” from corrosion and/or lack of use. Not wanting to break anything, I just do the math using the odometer reading.

There is a rubber **** that goes over the metal stub, which is missing. This would give a better grip and addition leverage.
