I've seen the other clock topic but they were all for the Z, do I also disassemble my glove box to get to the clock?

Is there like a place where I can take my car for them to fix it as I dont really want to damage or break something

or

should I just wait till i take it to the professional to restore/re-trim my interior

somewhere near Brisbane area

To get to the clock;

Remove the instrument section, there should be about 6 or so screws including the two top ones that look like they're holding the guages in. The annoying part is the trip meter lever, in order to get it off, you have to pull it towards yourself, relatively frimly, but not too much be careful not to break it, and then twist slowly in an anti-clockwise direction, if it just makes clicking noises then you'll have to pull it a bit firmer to make it start to unscrew. Once that trip lever/twister thing is gone she comes out fairly easily and the whole face of the instrument panel should slip out enough to get at the clock.

You'll also have to remove the fan knob and the slider knobs for the heater, they just pull off though.

If your clock is only running slow, there's a small dial on the back of it that you can adjust to make it faster or slower.

If you want a diagram or pointers, let me know I'll see what else I can do for you.

Edit: I removed the parts pertaining to the console section as you probably don't need to remove those after I had another quick look, I did when I opened mine up to clear out a vent and to be a bit nosey.

The easiest way to remove the clock and the fastest is by removing the glovebox.

But isn't the glove box really far from the instrument panel? or not really? do you just stick your arm inside and reach the back of the clock?

I have just removed my clock four days ago because the quartz replacement was not working properly. The first time i removed it, I went as described in the shop manual by removing the heater control panel and center console which I consider a lot of work and time consuming.This time, I followed the suggestion of a fellow member and I removed the inner glove box compartment. The access to the clock is far better being just aside from the glove box. The entire process took less than ten minutes and the clock was in my hands.

richard1: are you sure we're talking about the same car, what you're saying may be true for the 240Z however the 240K has a completely different dash.

It doesn't get much simpler than removing about 6 screws a trip meter knob and heater knobs and pulling the intstrument surround forward.

If the K clock is anyting like the Z clock, just open it up and lucricate the moving parts with sewing machine oil. I removed the motor from the assembly and attached the battery to the cables to test it and it worked. re assembled it and it works fine.
