Dear CB750 Forum:
I have a 1971 CB that I am restoring. It was a little rough when I got it, but time and money can solve everything that is wrong with this bike. I want to tear the speedometer apart to restore the housing and to replace the speedometer face. I've removed the unit from my bike and removed the lower chrome bottom cover. When I look at the underside with the chrome cover removed, I don't see any clear way to remove the unit from the housing. I have a Chilton and a Haynes manual, but neither give any information on gauge disassembly.
Often, I can get stuff apart through intuition and maybe I can with this, too. Except some of you have certainly done this task already. Can anyone give me a few hints as to which screws to remove and how the internals pull out of the housing? I'm grateful for your wisdom.
Sincerely, Stevw
