OK, I've read all the threads on speedo removal, but as with a lot of things on our busses, it always doesn't go as planned.

I unhooked the battery, lowered the parcel shelf, unhooked and marked all the wires, unhooked the cable and loosened the two hold down screws. I tried to twist the speedo and it turns about 1/8" and seems to hit a noticeable stop (yes, I'm turning the right way. I notice when I turn it the bezel on the dash doesn't turn.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Scott

Got it! I just had to be a little more convincing when pushing the speedo backwards. The original rubber seal was welded to the larger bezel in the dash...

I had the exact same problem a few months back. Those rubber seals get persnickety when not disturbed for 35 (or more) years!
