> =EF=BB=BFRecently I won a NOS speedometer angle drive to replace the old o=
ne on my 69 GT. The instrument was pulled recently for a rebuild due to the=
odometer not working. Probably my fault, but I was looking for a way to lu=
bricate the old angle drive and removed the slotted cover by turning it with=
a large screwdriver. I did not notice that it was staked in place and not t=
hreaded into the angle drive body. Inside I found nylon worn gears that loo=
ked a little worn, but still serviceable. When I could not figure out how t=
o re-stake the slotted cover I just turned to Ebay. I won an auction for an=
NOS angle drive for less than the Moss price. I thought I beat the system,=
but found out that there was a problem. I guess after a number of years th=
e lubrication hardens up. To turn the gears I need to use needle nose plier=
s. There is a lot of resistance to turn it. Any idea how to loosen this up=
? I put it in the oven at 200 degrees for 10 minutes to try to soften the h=
ardened grease, but no success. Or should I just spring for the Moss angle d=
rive?
