| You could disassemble it and lift it over the peg. While you're at it, clean the glass lense inside and out. |

| COULD I push the metal part in the back that the cable goes into in order to lift it over the peg? |

| I'm not sure that it would work. It would have to be directly connected and that may not be the case. But why not give it a try in place and see what happens? |

Man, I just went thru a mess trying to get my speedo fixed. I had chipped my needle when repairing glass. Then I bought 1 of the classifieds that turned out to be a POS....
it would work until 15mph and then max out. I have replaced mine 3 times in 2 weeks finally getting a good one that worked with a good needle.
If I was you I wouldnt tamper with it. Its not that hard to take out and put back in. Hardest part is those dang heat/air levers.....
I would remove it, fix the needle by hand, (clean up as mentioned earlier) and re-assemble. Just be careful when taking the gauge out and in. that needle is brittle :lol: |
