Default replacing odometer in 87 vert

Hey guys, I need help in replacing the odometer in my 87 vert. Had no luck searching the other links. Is there anything I need to look out for or is is just a matter of taking thing apart until I get to it? I really don't care what the mileage reading is because the title says mileage not actual. I just want to know how much I drive it. Thanks.

It is very straight foward...plug and play really.

Remove the cluster from the car.
Remove the back vented steel cover for the cluster.
Unbolt the odometer unit and unplug the attached wiring connector.

Reverse instruction's order to reinstall.
You'll want to get an odometer from an '84 - '88...'89 won't work.
