Hi, all.

I'm sure a Bentley or some other service manual that I don't have knows all
about this.  However, I don't have one. :)

The speedometer on my '87 Syncro may or may not still work (it's got 129K
miles on it.)  But the problem, I found, is deeper than that -- the output
on the front differential isn't turning at all.  At first sight, this looks
like the sort of project that the PO didn't fix for a reason.  But a
mechanic friend of mine suggested that it might be nothing more than tugging
out the offending part with a pair of pliers and replacing it, claiming it's
that simple on Toyotas.

So.  How DO you fix a frozen speedo output?  The whole
speedometer-and-odometer thing would sure be handy, especially since the gas
gauge is broken. ;)  One step at a time...
