Right-hand drive models

Removal

1. Remove the instrument panel as described in Section 9.

2. Open the glovebox, then remove the two securing screws (underneath the glovebox) and withdraw the glovebox from the facia.

3. Tie a length of string to the cable at the speedometer end.

4. Reach up through the glovebox aperture and unclip the cable from the heater assembly (see illustration).



5. Identify the speedometer grommet in the bulkhead, then pull the cable down through the facia and pass it out through the glovebox aperture.

6. Untie the string from the end of the cable and leave the string in position in the facia, to aid refitting.

7. Working in the engine compartment, remove the two bolts securing the left-hand end of the brake pedal-to-servo linkage crosstube to the brake servo bracket.

8. Similarly, remove the plastic cover and loosen the two bolts securing the right-hand end of the crosstube (see illustration).





9. Unscrew the four bolts securing the brake servo bracket to the studs on the bulkhead, then carefully pull the servo assembly forwards sufficiently to gain access to the speedometer cable grommet in the bulkhead (see illustration). Take care not to strain the master cylinder brake pipes.



10. Unscrew the securing collar (or pull out the rubber pin, as applicable) and withdraw the speedometer cable end from the gearbox (see illustration).
