Dave,
Its been a long while, so I can't be too specific. I do know that I've done
it on one MGB speedo four years ago, and its still OK. Also, I once did it
to a Mercedes 230 speedo (on the table in a motel on the road in New Mexico
one night), and it was still OK ten years later when I sold the car!
Carefully remove the mechanism from its case. Clean off everything you can
reach, especially the old, dried lubricant (WD-40 will do this), and
re-lubricate areas which had been lubricated - I used white lithium grease
on the B, believe I did not have anything to use on the MBZ.
