The speedometer cable on my 71 B failed yesterday and when I jacked up the car 
to see what was involved in removing it from the transmission, I noticed some 
heavy black oil leaking on the floor beneath the right rear wire wheel.  So 
now, in addition to the speedometer cable, I'll need to replace the seal.  Do I 
also need the bearing and/or anything else?  Any good advice on techniques, 
tricks and things to avoid?  All suggestions greatly appreciated.  BTW, my 
computer crashed and destroyed all my emails before I could thank all listers 
who responded to my request for suggestions on my shop to be.  Thank you all.
