had the speedometer in my BJ8 modified for a 3.5 rear end a few years
ago. It's performed flawlessly until recently, when it began to get
"jumpy" (will indicate correctly for a second or two, then
jump10-15mph higher momentarily, then settle back down--more or less
consistently). I've cleaned and re-lubed the cable to no effect, and
with a road trip coming up don't have time to take it to a shop.
Can these be easily disassembled--I just need to remove the cover--and
cleaned, say, with a no-residue electronics spray cleaner? Are tiny
bits going to fall all over my garage floor and disappear into the
fifth dimension, never to be seen again? If not, I'm thinking a light
coat of silicone lube on the moving parts, or should I leave it dry?
Do the bearings or other internal parts wear out in 20-30K of
driving? Appreciate any and all replies. >>
