7. Working behind the bulkhead, squeeze the grommet at the top end of the speedometer cable where it connects to the intermediate cable and remove the grommet from the rear of the speedometer head. Disconnect the cable and remove it from the inner bulkhead panel along with the rubber grommet (see Fig. 12.7,a,b).
