don't, get some with lower miles then get it re-mot'd and ur sorted
OR
Take it to someone with a diagnostics machine and they dhould be able to do it for you

so theres no way i could do it myself for free only ive heard its just a matter of moving the numbers by hand by rolling them
just wanted to know if its true or not without breaking owt

You have to push out a pin first, as there's some extra plastic blob things above the numbers that prevent you from rolling it. Once that's out they roll freely.

there are companies that do 'milage adjustment' so can correct it for you, but obviously they charge for this.
try searching on google

You can do it your self by taking the mechanism apart
