[Healeys] Speedo Cable

[m.g.sharp at sympatico.ca]

Roger,  No experience with the BJ8, but likely the same as my BT7, and I have removed the complete cable before without removing the gearbox cover.  It is a real fiddle as it is obscured by the cruciform in the frame.  I seem to recall I used some long needle-nose pliers and could just get enough grip on the knurled “nut” that holds the cable onto the angle drive to undo it.  I don’t think I removed the angle drive, but in truth can’t recall.  It was painstaking as I could only rotate the knurled piece a tiny bit at a time.  In the end, it may have been less frustration to remove the cover.  However, it worth a try.  Good luck with it!

BJ8

I need to remove the speedo cable from my BJ8 - not just the inner  but the complete cable at the rt angle drive.

So, wondering if the more experienced could comment if this can be done from downstairs without removing the GB cover ?

Any thoughts, ideas or tricks appreciated.
