Earlier, I mentioned that my speedo busted on me. Actually, both my tach and
speedo hung up after the cables were binding and the needles were doing a
bouncing dance. Letting the car sit for months and then taking it out in
freezing weather was not a good idea. I hadn't lubed the cables earlier,
despite bouncing needles, so I paid the price. The gauges now were stuck. The
speedo was stuck at 100mph!
Here's what I did to open it up and repair the situation, with a pictorial
explanation. Do this at your own risk, if you're squeamish about messing
around with your gauges or you want the gauge to remain in factory condition.
I had nothing to lose, since the gauge no longer worked! When I was done, it
looked fine.
