RDS Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I have started to remove the body as described in the Instruction leaflet by removing the bogie and the chassis screw.The instructions then suggest just easing the wheel assembly forward to disengage and downwards to remove.However, there is also a short (approx 15mm) arm which goes from the rear wheels to just under the cab area. This arm (is it the speedo?) is not mentioned in the instructions at all but does appear to have to be disconnected before the wheel assembly can be removed.It seems very delicate so I am reluctant to try but does it just pull downwards from the cab area? Why is it not mentioned at all in the leaflet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDS Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 Whilst waiting for my thread to be approved for the forum, I have disconnected the item that I think is the speedo by just easing it downwards. I have fitted the decoder. I just need to be able to refit the speedo now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poliss Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 The speedo cable can be removed using a 2.5mm nut driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDS Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 Thanks for that! Unfortunately, I removed it at the other end. I may have to remove it altogether for now (using the 2.5mm driver) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graskie Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I'd been meaning to buy one of those "nutspinners" for quite a while and recently did so from my local model shop - it's an Expo 78032 2.5mm/12BA Nutspinner. I had seen them on eBay but acquired mine for less money, only £2.95. I haven't used it yet but you could view one on www.expotools.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDS Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 I have EXACTLY the same nut spinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graskie Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Great! I just find I can't spin it on myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDS Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 All back together!This was one of those tasks where you need fingers the size of a 2 year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
