Howdy Folks,
About to replace my speedometer/odometer cable and
read on this site and on the package that the cable should be
greased at time of fitting? The cable does not seem
to be able to be removed from the cables sleeve?
Has anyone ever figured out how to grease the cable while
it is in the sleeve? Or does the cable pull out of the sleeve?
I don't want to break it by pulling on it too much?

    What I finally did was use synthetic oil and a syringe
    and filled the end piece then allowed it to seep in.
    I put about 2 ounces in the sleeve.

    All done and installed now.

    Thanks,

    Your old cable lasted 30 years, a new one should last at least half that. I wouldn't bother.
