KPJUK Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Hi guys, My speedo stopped working recently - cable seems fine and the dials run up when I spin the cable up, so it appears the drive unit is buggered. From the looks of it all I need to remove is a 10mm bolt and then pull the unit from the diff casing, however when I attempted this on my old gearbox is just shattered the drive unit housing. Are these supposed to just pull out after removing the bolt but they seize up, or is there something I have missed? I have quite a rare 6-speed from a G6 Corolla so am keen not to damage the transmission or related components! KP Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KPJUK Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 Ah I was hoping/dreading that was the case. So with the bolt and little plate remove the bugger should pull out after some lube and swearing. How safe is it for me to get an acetylene torch on it? Don't fancy cracking the casing or burnings the seals and oil up but I just don't know what this issue calls for! Thanks for your help dude. KP Quote Link to post Share on other sites
