Cluster stuck on 66 c10--how to get it out?
I have followed every step, disconnected everything back behind the cluster, oil pressure speedo cable and all.
I have followed all steps in this article and it just will not come out. http://www.earlyclassic.com/tech.asp...064-66%20Chevy Anyone run into this before? |

You have to remove the ignition, wiper and headlight switch and it should come out.

IIRC I had to loosen my steering column a little to get a little more clearance as well.

Re: Cluster stuck on 66 c10--how to get it out?
Yep got all of the switches off, cig lighter, all of it and the bezel screws.
I did just a moment ago get it out, it was stuck at the base where the seams of the cluster were just tall enough to hang up. Took a screwdriver and placed it in each spot where it was getting hung up and and pried it up over the dash metal lip where it was getting hung up. Now I think I need a new speedo cable cause when I disconnected it these 2 pieces fell out. Shouldn't these be attached?  I was trying earlier to test the speedo cable by disconnecting at the trans and hooked it up to a drill and ran the drill in reverse and the cable backed its way out of the sleeve. A pic at the trans  And this is what happened to the cable when I tried to do the drill test  So is this a new cable only to fix? The speedo has been inoperative for years, trying to fix it. |
