The front and back portion will separate, and the trip odometer on the top will come out of the top of the front of the speedo.

Set the trip odometer aside. Also set the front of the speedo aside, being careful with this portion, as it contains the delicate portion of the speedo mechanism, the needle shaft and spring for the speedo.

Disassembly of the Rear of the Speedo

You can now start the dissemble of the rear of the speedo, as well as the cleaning, and re lubrication.

The shaft that contains what I think makes the magnetic impulse for the speedo, can now be removed from the cast portion of the rear of the speedo.

There are 2 brass screws, which should be removed, and the shaft and screws set aside.

Drive Mechanism and Magnetic Impulse


The cast portion contains 2 gears with shafts, connected to arms, with retaining spring clips that move the 2 odometers.
