Hi All,
I'm trying to take apart a Vanagon speedometer. Need some advice before my
experiment turns into an unmitigated disaster.The speedo is now out of the
cluster. The needle and faceplate is off. Four screws and seven years ago...
I mean, four screws taken out. Questions:
1) What is holding it together? There's a brass fitting of some sort holding
it on the pin for the needle. Looks scary to remove because getting the
right tension will be a challenge.
2) How is that white nylon tail piece attached? It's the part where the
cable goes in. It looks like it might spin off because there are three slots
for maybe a special tool? Or does it just pop off somehow.
That's it for now.
TIA,
BenT
