Might also help to wiggle one of the outputs/props (front if still attached to the vehicle as yo uoull the drive out as this may line the cogs up better for pulling it out..

BogMonster Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 It "should" slide out but what happens is that because it is a tight fit where it slides into the housing, water inside causes a build up of corrosion which then sticks it in there. You'll probably have to take the housing off and tap it through from the inside, at which point it will come out quite easily because by then you will be in a temper and using the larger of your two hammers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluespanner Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Try chiseling it, rotating it to break the seal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Penetrating oil and heat, oh and a good wire brushing. rotating the prop as you pull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definately not The square drive of the speedo gear is vey thin, and quite fragile. Put pliers on that and it will just snap off. I found this out the hard way I used a large flat bladed screwdriver on the edge of the drive, and clouted it to free it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
