Google VDO odometer repair; shouldn't be too hard to find a DIY site. I've used one for Porsches IIRC. The site will help you out with disassembly.
Once you get the pot metal gear off, you'll see that you can take a plier (I think I used a needle-nose Vise Grip) to squeeze a collar of metal around the shaft hole such that you are bending the hole so that it is very slightly out of round. This bending is sufficient to exert enough force on the shaft so that it no longer spins. See pic below for collar portion of gear.
The biggest thing to bear in mind is that if you do not keep the numbers in place with tape, and take extra care to keep them that way, they won't line up upon re-assembly.
