You have to be extremely careful when you press it back on. If, when trying to press it back on the stud, you move/turn the stud, your recorded speed will be way off.

Wish I'd have seen this answer earlier. I think it's okay. It seemed to work fine after I road tested it. Thanks to all who answered.

Peter, The screws on the clear plastic cover are misleading. Mine wouldn't come off even after the screws were removed. However, I found the black tabs and gained access to the face of the speedo. All fixed now. Thanks
