Speedometer Cable: Service and Repair
Speedometer Cable Lubrication
The speedometer cable should be lubricated with special cable lubricant. Fill the ferrule on the upper end of the housing with the cable lubricant.
Insert the cable in the housing, starting at the upper end. Turn the cable around carefully while feeding it into the housing. Repeat filling the ferrule
except for the last six inches of cable. Too much lubricant at this point may cause the lubricant to work into the speedometer head.
