Classic/Antique Car Repair: speedometer seized, Speedo


Question
ok i have a 1930 Ford Model A Coupe and i just bought a brand new speedometer cable for it. When i took it out to test it it worked fine and all the sudden it went down to zero i looked and it snapped the cable. now i know their known for the grease inside the speedometer to dry up and seize and I'd like to clean it out and pack it with new fresh grease. i got the speedometer out of the console but now that its out i cannot figure out how to get the back of the speedometer off to get the grease out. How can i do this??? thank you very much for your time and help.

A very common problem. I have a 13 page set of instructions on how to fix it. Not easy, but a lot of people have done it. The main shaft needs to be removed and freed up. Let me know your fax number and I will send it.

Austin, I scanned the document and will try to send it to you.  If I can attach it!!!!
You might want to go to blurb.com and look at a book I just published.  You can see the whole book on preview.  you don't have to buy it.  It has some stuff in there that will help you.
