the speedo was working fine, until one day it didn't. No
warning. I decided to unhook the connection at the back of the
speedo and see if the square end of the cable was rotatable. To
my surprise, the entire cable was not even connected to the
speedometer. Just hanging loose. Since it takes quite a few
turns to screw it on, this seems odd. </font><font

easily; does this mean the cable itself is broken? If so, I
will have to pull each end out separately. It's a real pain to
get under the car, as it is an inch off the ground (it seems),
and I am more than an inch thick. Working from the top as Bob
suggested sounds better.</font>

unscrew the cable housing and pull out the cable. A new one can be slipped
in if the housing is good.

Finally a question I can help with! As a new Healy owner I've been lurking
on the list for the past few weeks, soaking up the questions and answers as
best a new Healy owner can.
Answer to your question Mike : from above. Definitely. Take the seats out,
remove the radio console and transmission tunnel, and all is exposed. Did
this earlier today on our BJ8 to replace a missing engine/bell housing bolt
and did not take too long at all.
