I will start a new thread regarding my bouncing speedo.
As others have already noted in the 100 mile drive Commander thread, my speedometer should be lubricated. Now, I have been messing around w/cars for a long time, but I have never had to fool w/speedometer cable repair. Getting the proper lube is a given now. My questions are:
Should I remove the entire cable assembly? I hope not as fishing the head through the dash panel looks like a pain to me.
Can I disconnect the cable housing at either end and remove the drive cable out of the housing and wipe down, relubricate and reinstall?
What are the best options for this?
Thanks in advance.
David
