1970 Mach 1 speedo cable, need to remove.

[brentwoodboy]

We are restopring a 70' Mach 1 and the speedometer cable and stuff in there is broken. How do I remove it? The areas around it seem to be riveted together, I'm sure there's an obvious solution here. Thanks.

It is a clipped onto the back of the dash. Very simple just reach back there push the corners in and it should pull right out. Then just undo it at the tranny which is one little bolt, and it should come right out.

Well, weve removed the dash and have the speedometer out, the cable is stuck in the back (no tranny involved here yet). The black sleeve, we slid it off...we just need to get that darn thing out.

Hmm, if you removed the black cable housing, then there shouldn't be anything holding the rest of the cable in but rust I guess. Give it a good yank. Or, soak it with PB blaster or some type of anti-seizing solution first.

You need to push on the clips hard, and pull, they just are pushed on.
