Speedo Cable

[1BadRS]

The truck is a 84 Bronco II, 2.8, C5 and 1350 manual T case. I'm installing a set of autometer guages including the speedo. I bought an adapter that replaces the factory speedo gear assembly in the transfer case in order to get the correct signal for the autometer guage.

I can't seem to figure out how to get that horse shoe looking clip off that holds the speedo cable in the gear assembly. How does that clip come out?

It doesn't HAVE to come off if you are replacing it, does it?

You remove that one bolt and the only thing holding the gear drive in is the o-ring. Pry it out!

Once you have it out, you can TRY to spread the clip if you HAVE to. I would just hold the sensor in a vise and hit the fork with a hammer. It's a thick fork, so expect to hit it pretty hard, using a solid drift. Should slide off with some pursuation.

This is the part I'm trying to install which replaces the whole entire factory gear assembly. The horse shoe type clip that holds the cable to the old part is what I can't get apart. I already have it out of the transfer case.

I just set up the electronic sender for a manual with auto meter gauges, the little clip that holds the gear on is just a retainer that will pull right off, and then you can just pull the entire cable out of the truck from the bottom. I can take a look at my old parts Friday if your still having issues then.
