Yes sir and thanks for all your help....I too have installed several speedometer gears over the years and I am pretty sure I never put any lube on any of them. You can best believe I wont do it again though!!!!!!
You know, the parts, in this case pale in comparison to the amount of labor involved. This car is a Superformance, and while I really love just about everything about it, it has a strangely over complicated emergency brake set up that, for as intricate and complicated as it is, really should work better than it does. It only takes about an hour to remove it so you can take the drive shaft off. Thanks again sir!!!!
