>JOE, The following is from Hanes Manual:
To remove speedometer (USA & Canada) remove the LH lower facia panel (3 screws)
and detach the speedometer cable from the instrument.
Press the instrument in and turn it clockwise 30 degrees, aligning the studs
on the instrument with the facia cut-outs.
remove the instrument and disconnect the wires. Pull out the bulb holder, and
remove the spring.
I did this years ago, but have not had occasion to do it recently.
Hope this helps......Cheerio...Stuart....'79MGB
