Speedo Gear Change II
This should be easy, one bolt, pull out old , replace with new. After 21 years I guess it didn't want to give it up. I had the diff changed ( too difficult with only limited use of my left hand ) so now I have to change the speedo gear. Is there a trick to get the seal to break so I don't destroy the housing?

If your looking to change the speedo gears to accomodate a new differential gear ratio you'll want to remove the transmission's tailshaft extension housing and change the gear on the tranny's output shaft as well.

They can be tight pull straight out....the seals are O rings. Take your time go slow ( I too have limited use of my "right" hand which has been smashed, crushed, cut).
