CB77 Speedo Rebuild

Post by Dusty_Jones » Tue Nov 11, 2014 7:56 pm

I'm very new to forums. I have a 1966 305 Super Hawk that I would like to know how to remove the needles from the speedo. I have taken the speedo apart and I'm not sure how to remove the 2 needles. I have purchased a new speedo backing and I need to remove the needles to replace the backing. Thanks

You can use something like a pair of spoons or a pair of blunt screwdrivers to get under the needle and lever it off. Put some packing material on the speedo face so that you do not damage it. Keep a careful watch on the needle as it flies off.

Thanks G-Man, I'll try that - hopefully I don't damage anything. Anything I need to know when replacing the needles?

Just line them up correctly and push on with your thumb.
