[Healeys] Removing BJ8 speedometer

[Michael Salter]

Hi Doug,
If the wires are red with a white tracer they are for the dash lights. The
entire bulb holder should pull out of the back of the speedometer quite
easily. You may want to try prying gently on the metal rim. 
The high beam light, in the bottom of the speedometer, also just pulls out
although one should be careful not to loose the small metal clips on the
sides of the black tubular bulb holder as they are difficult to replace.
I think it is the high beam light in the speedo although it may be the
ignition light; they are both the same configuration anyway.

Subject: [Healeys] Removing BJ8 speedometer

I need to send the speedometer for my 67 BJ8 in for repair.  I was able to
remove it except for the 2 wires, which I assume are for the panel lights.
I
am unable to figure out how to remove those wires.  Can anyone tell me how
to
do it?  Thanks.
