[6pack] speedo cable

[Bob Danielson]

You don't need to remove the tach but doing so does give you more room. The 
things connected to the speedo is  the voltage stabilizer and usually some 
ground wires.

This is also a good time to check the tip of the cable to see if it meets 
spec which can be found toward the end of this page 
http://tr6.danielsonfamily.org/SpeedometerCalibration.htm  A lot of cables 
protrude too far into the speedo/tach and can cause internal damage.

?good morning, all.

I need to remove the speedo cable and lube it; its gyrating.

in order to really lube it, I need to remove the speedo so I can take
advantage of gravity.

am I better off taking the tach out first?  seems like it might be worth it 
to
make it easier to remove the speedo.

I know there are two little nuts holding the speedo in, but one is very hard
to get to, and there are so many wires and cables!

thanks!
