Hello again, So I am having trouble with the speedometer cable and gear on the wheel. I went to take the cable off to replace it and it is basically rotted in the housing down on the front wheel. I was hoping to get it out to be able to use the housing again. Do any of you know how to get the "upright " gear in the housing out. I feel if I can get that out I can get the last little bit of speedo cable out.
Thank you.

Re: Speedometer cable and gear problem
The gear housing itself is still available and not expensive, IIRC. I put a new one on Gertrude about a two years ago, before the pandemic started. Got it from Partzilla IIRC.

Re: Speedometer cable and gear problem
Since you're in there, note that you have an option to get a different cable drive wheel that corrects the speedometer. It also renders the odometer incorrect. Your choice.
