Subject:Speedo cable install question
From:Andrew R.
Date:Wed, 19 Feb 2014 21:37:51 -0800

Hey all,

I've got a new speedometer cable installed from the dash head unit down
through the body, bypassing the old OX counter box.  I've run into a
roadblock getting the other cable half out of the wheel assembly.  Trying
to pull it through the back side of the wheel assembly, I can't get it to
budge.

I've pulled the retaining clip off the cable at the grease cap, but I've
yet to pull the cap off.  Do I need to do this?  I replaced a cable on a
'72 Westy ages ago and it just slid through the hub w/o issue.  Not so with
this Vanagon.

thanks,
Andrew
