I have had a dead speedo for some time now, and yesterday i decided to do something about it (reason for postponing it is that the speedo cable was stuck/VERY tight at the connection to the speedo).. Well, after lots of WD40 and trying not to strangle myself in the steering wheel or brake my neck laying on my back i got the cable off. Removed the speedo and tested it with a spare (clutch)cable i had laying around and a drill - worked fine. The removed the inner cable, and the upper end (speedo end) was clearly deformed. As i had bought a new speedo cable, i just took the inner cable from that and inserted it in the old outer cable, reassembled and thought that i had fixed the problem... No. Still a dead speedo.
Question: is there a special trick to get the inner cable in place, any twisting etc needed? I just inserted it and it seemed to go all the way to the bottom and fit fine? Anything else i have missed here??
Thanks for any help or comments!
