<VV> LM speedometer cable

[Dave Keillor]

Mike,

The speedometer cable assy holes are tapped into the spindle casting, but don't come through the backing plate.  I THINK they're tapped all the way through the casting, but don't know for sure.  If that's true, you could remove the backing plate to get at them from behind, but it might be just as easy to simply remove the entire front brake assembly.  Either way it's a pain.

 I have to replace the speedo cable assy, but one of the screws holding the assy 
to the backing plate has broken off. I think I have to remove the spindle assy 
to drill it out. Not much room from the spring side to get  to it.  Is there a 
way to get to the two screws from the inside when the brake shoes etc. are 
removed? In other situations I was able to remove broken screws by slotting the 
threaded end and working them out. Anybody tried this? 


 Any other suggestions??MIKE KOVACS
