It's easy. With a screwdriver or pliers remove the e-ring where the cable goes through the firewall next to the left fender. That will give you slack to slide the end of the cable through the larger hole on the fork. To get the other end off, prop the clutch pedal up and push the cable through the firewall until it pops off.

I suggest not tugging on anything that you don't have a part for, you may find you can't get one, or you need to fix what you have...
that said... spedo cable only come out in one direction try the other end... does it turn? |

You sure i want to acutally spin it? how exactly to you mean spin? Like twist like a clock or rotate it. Because i can move it around it just like its caught on something
and how about those mount bolts?

You are talking about your speedometer cable and not your clutch cable...
how do you think a speedometer works? by turning,, it's made of a flexible cable with wire raped around it and that rape can Frey or even brake, but it is suppost to turn free.. as for the bolts read the book

i took one cap type thing off already. And there is like someting circluar going into the tranny just tried to take that off and it just kept spinning and spinning. Its the part that has the rod coming out of that you had to losen up and take out.
I just want to know how to take it out... I dont care if its damaged already big whoop... just how do you take it out
