[DML] Re: Frozen speedo cable?

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Check the plastic drive cap that fits bewtwen the left front wheel and
the rotor. The hole in the center is supposed to be square so the
square cable fitting inside will be turned by the cap. Sometimes that
hole gets round and will not turn the cable. Sometimes the cap is not
held securely between the rim and the rotor. Some electrical tape
around the edge will get it going. Check the angle drive again. If it
went bad you may have a problem inside the speedometer. Parts break
loose inside and jam it up which will cause repeated failures of the
drive cap and angle drive.
