[QUOTE="PoppaBear, post: 195444, member: 16804"] I use lithium-based grease for the speedometer gears, in liberal amounts. First, you need to entirely clean the old grease out on both gears. Make sure the tabs on the smaller gear fit into the hub first. Then insert the brake hub over the first gear, rotating back and forth slowly. For the cable, make sure the cable ears fit correctly over the driven side by un-sheathing part of the cable, then threading it in slowly. Once that is done, connect the retaining nut. At this point, before connecting the cable to the speedometer, I like to spin the front wheel to make sure the speedo cable is also spinning. This sounds like a K0 (1970-1971) you're talking about with the integrated headlight bucket and speedometer, correct? It helps to post the exact model/year you're talking about.... I think you've got it correct. Its obvious that the larger hole in the bottom is for the speedo cable, and wire harness. The smaller opening is for the brake light switch, horn, H/L switch. [/QUOTE]
