Snapped Speedo Cable Trouble

[chrisj21 2]

Hi,

 

My speedo cable snapped a few weeks back and i went to change it this evening, its snapped right at the bottom where the pin enters the gearbox and the pin is still in but i cant get it out.

 

I've tried to remove the housing from the gearbox but it wont budge, any ideas how to get it out or is it a gearbox off job?

 

Thanks

Remove the 11mm bolt that holds the (once) white cable retainer push a phillips screwdriver through the hole where the rubber retainer came out and lift/ rotate the white plastic 'till it comes out. Take the red speedo drive gear out . If you can't get the broken end out ( Hint - steal her indoors' eyebrow tweezers when she's not looking ) just get a new drive from dealer.

Thanks for the reply,

 

That was my plan earlier but i couldn't budge it. I'll have another go tomorrow.

 

As long as i know it possible.

 

Cheers
