[TR] 66 TR4A Speedo Drive removal (non-OD)

[Darrell Walker]

The gearbox on my 66TR4A (non-OD) is a bit leaky, and one of those places (which think I can fix without removing the transmission) is the speedo drive. On my TR8, this part just pulled out after removing the retaining plate. On my TR4A, I've removed the retaining bolt (that comes in from the top), but I'm unable to get the drive assembly to budge. 

I've tried pulling on it using the cable nut to give me more leverage, and I've tried to rotate the brass housing that protrudes from the gearbox case, and I can't get any movement. 

Before I break something, is there anything else I need to do before removing it? Any tips/tricks to removing it? Other than the parts diagram in the manual, I can't find any mention of it. 


Thanks!
