BrettS Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Hi guys. The speedo cable on my 110 has siezed up and the bit the square end of the cable goes into has broken. Did some searching on the forum and I see that I have to pry the pinion out of the transfer box and I assume replace the drive gear. Can't find any pictures of the parts in any of my manuals so I'm just trying to make sure that the broken bit is part of the drive gear and that is what I need to replace. I hope this thing doesn't give me too much grief trying to remove it. Have started soaking it with penitrating oil. Thanks Brett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Woodward Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Yes the broken bit is part of the drive gear; Its just held by the housing which pushes in; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mo Murphy Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Brett, you will probably need to remove the handbrake back plate if the top hat housing is stuck good and proper, access is very poor otherwise. Mo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettS Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 Yes Mo, you may be right. Been soaking it, tapping away at it, hitting it and swearing at it, all to no avail. Tough spot to try to get at that's for sure. Thanks for the suggestion. Brett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettS Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 Just wondering if heat would be an option here? Not talking red hot, just enough to maybe help things break free a bit. This bugger is being stubborn. Brett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I always use a wood chisel to lever it out, the sharp edge gets under the lip. HTH Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettS Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 Well, not having much luck. Thing does not want to budge. Have the brake back plate off now so a lot more room but no joy. Even the wood chisel is not doing the trick. Will have another crack at it tomorrow. Brett Update... OK, I couldn't leave it alone. I went another round with it using the chisel, then used the wire wheel to clean it up a bit, then for the hell of it, grabbed it with a pair of vise grips, just to see. Well, didn't I see the little bugger move a little bit. Bit more wiggling up and down and the pinion finally slid out. I was surprised to see the little gear was yellow, but then this gearbox did come out of a 90. I will order the blue one as is fitting for the 110 where the gearbox now resides. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
