The rebuild should include the radius rod mounts with sleeves and if needed the lower control arm mounts. Don't be too surprised if you wind the radius rods badly worn and the frame holes rusted or damaged to the point of needing welding repair. Dennis

I've been soaking the components in penetrating oil for two (2) weeks. Hopefully there won't be too much swearing and alcohol involved. I've reviewed Bentley over and over so I think I'm ready, however, what I can't find is what holds the speedometer cable into the left steering knuckle.
Can anyone lend guidance on how to remove the cable without FUBAR'ing it? Any other words of wisdom/experience will be most appreciated as well.
