Speedo Cable and Case Replacement
When it is necessary to replace the speedometer cable
and case, proper routing must be followed, as shown in
Figures 8-79 through 8-83. Always insure that bend radius
does not exceed 6 inches, unless the cable has a pre-formed
radius. Also, insure that the cable is not positioned near
exhaust pipes, or is not routed where it could be pinched or
chaffed by moving parts.
5. Inspect cable casing, especially at transmission end,
for sharp bends and breaks. If breaks are noted, replace
casing.
6. To insure quiet operation, assemble cable in following
manner:
a. Wipe cable clean, using lint-free cloth. Flush bore of
casing with oleum spirits or suitable solvent solution and blow
dry with air under pressure.
b. Place an approved speedometer cable lubricant in
palm of hand.
c. Feed cable through lubricant in hand and into casing
until lubricant has been applied to lower two-thirds of cable.
Do not over-lubricate and do not apply lubricant to upper
third of cable, since operation of cable assures adequate
lubrication of upper third and at same time prevents lubricant
from seeping into speedometer head.
