First: you unscrew the cable housing assembly from the back of the speedomiter housing.

Second: you pull the speedomiter cable from the housing.

If the cable is broken inside the housing you must unscrew the housing from the spedomiter adaptor on the front axle,. at this point you should be able to pull the broken end from the adaptor with a pair of pliersif you can't pull it at this point you will have to pull the front axle and take the adaptor out and try to remove the broken end.

I hope this helps.

Underneath the speedometer head is a knurled nut.It SHOULD unscrew by hand, but, you may need a pair of pliers.At the other end of the cable is a nut, unscrew with a wrench.
When installing new cable, start at lower end.
You'll probably need to turn inner cable by hand to line up end of cable with receptacle in drive unit, then tighten nut.


At top end, install into speedo head unit, and tighten knurled nut.


You might want to grease cable before installation.
Inner cable should pull out of outer sheath housing from the top.
Grease all of inner cable EXCEPT for top (where it goes into speedo head) 6", so grease doesn't get into speedo head and gum up the works!
