Hello everyone,
After 6 months or so of not having a working speedo, I decided to pull
it out and give it a good cleaning. The needle started sticking
intermittently and then one day it stuck and I heard a bad grinding
noise and the cable broke. Better the cable than teeth or gears!
So now that I have it apart and the inside of the case has received
a nice coat of high gloss white, I've been poking around in the
internals and it seems the magnet is rubbing against the "cake pan"
as Barney calls it), although I can't see the point of contact.
The grease is very old and not very greasy anymore, can someone please
detail exactly where and what lubricants to use. Also, should I take
it apart and clean it first? If so, what's the procedure? It would
appear I would have to take the needle and faceplate off to get it apart.
Cheers, Skye
