How To Change a T25 Speedo Cable

Mark shows us how to change a speedo cable on a T25. 

(00:00) The next job to carry out on Tim's T25 is to sort out the noisy speedo. So to fix that problem we're going to replace the cable the first thing we need to do is gain access to the back of the speedo here so we need to remove this top part of the binnacle cover now to do that it's on to clips at the back and then pulls forward with a bit of pressure on the top pushing backwards you can actually lift it out the clips quite easily. I'm going to slide it forward, and off it comes, then we're going to disconnect our cable that

(00:30) goes to our brake reservoir brake fluid reservoir so we can undo that carefully remove the plastic and then all we need to do is to remove the cable from the back of the speeder if you're not confident in getting your hand down there and pulling the speedo cable off you can undo the screws and gently move the whole Pinnacle forward you can just literally squeeze one of the lugs and it lifts up the lock and off you slide it off so the speedo cable actually comes down through to the front wheel here on the near side

(00:57) and the cable actually comes through the center of the wheel hub and out to the grease cover on the outside the grease cover has got a square drive that the cable actually fits into and then an e-clip secures the cable in place so all we need to do is remove that e-clip and we can withdraw the cable all the way from The Hub so with the aid of a small screwdriver we can just lift that e-clip off and out there we go careful not to lose him and then our cable will then just push through the cap so I can withdraw the cable from the other side

(01:26) so with a firm pillow on the cable I should be able to pull it through that Hub sometimes they're a bit sticky there we go that's out so now our Cable's withdrawn from our Hub the next thing we need to do is drop the spare wheel down that will give us access to where the cable goes through into the cab excellent so now we should be able to withdraw the cable up through into the cab keep going that goes off down as you can see just about where it goes through under there so we'll pull that through and then we can feed the new one back down through

(02:02) this way also so before we slide our new cable into position we're going to remove the Grille first that'll give us some access to the back of the dash and make it a lot easier to get our cable down through so these are on little half turn clips cable and I've put a little bit of electrical tape around the end just to sort of prevent any hang ups on the way down the grommets into position and move that further up that's ready to go so all I need to do now is just feed it through our bulkhead and I can go the other side

(02:37) where we've removed the grill and then manipulate the cable into position and run it down to where we need to now I've actually got the speedo cable a little bit jammed up here beyond the headlamp so next thing I'm going to do is just pop the headlamp forward and then I should be able to retrieve the cable there we go oh lovely so now I can grab hold of the cable put it through it so with the headlight pulled forward we can make sure that our weatherproof grommet is seated correctly use the end of the cable I can just

(03:10) start pulling it through lovely so before we go any further we just need to remove that piece of uh electrical tape that we put on the end to help us get down to where we are now I don't want to be putting that through the Hub so let's remove that so all I need to do now is feed that through the center of the Hub and pop a little bit of grease on the cable this will help us slide it through our hub center there we go slid through the Hub so as you can see the cable's just about to come through our grease cap so I'm

(03:46) just going to push the cable from behind and then Aid it through guide it through with our little screwdriver yep there we go it pops through and now I can get our re-clip on that'll stop him falling back through carefully get our Eclipse started and then push them on with a her long nose pliers there it's clipped on Lovely brilliant I'm just going to check our cable routing just past our spare wheel carrier and then we get the spare wheel back in and get that up just make sure it is in the right position and not

(04:19) getting caught anywhere I've just secured with the cable tie just to keep it in the right position [Music] so our last piece of the puzzle is to pop the dashboard back together we've already clipped on our Speedo cable onto the back of the speedo here so now we can we can remove our brake level sensor and pop them back in once we've got our plastic protector back in and then when we pop our Pinnacle cover back on the front goes in first and locates into some little Clips there and then there's just two clips at the back.

(04:52) So now we just push the two back, and that's it, so for more hints and tips and how healthy videos follow us on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and check us out at justkampers.com. Thanks for watching. Thank you.
