Subject:      speedometer cable installation question
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=Windows-1252


Hi there:


Ran into a problem replacing a speedometer cable in my 89 vanagon. I thought this would be a pretty simple, straightforward job, but that's what I get for thinking;) It looks like about 4 to 5 inches of the plastic outer protective sheath has broken off inside the wheel assembly. Obviously a new cable is not going to go in there with the old plastic sheathing stuck in the hole. So, suggestions on the best way to go about getting the old cable out of there? I'm assuming that removing the dust cap is in order, and pulling it through the outside instead of trying to push it through.  Does the dust cap just pop off or how is it attached? Any suggestions here how to proceed would be appreciated.


TIA,


Troy
