Changing speedo cable - how easy?

As the title says, how easy is it to change the speedo cable on a Mk2 16v? I know its a dash apart job inside, but what about actually running the cable through from the engine bay?

Any common problems I might encounter?

 

Yes what ever you do be very careful when you take the gearbox end of the cable out and putting back in. Do not let the small wheel fall off the end and go inside the gearbox. I don't think its to tricky getting through the bulk head.

 

I've just tried removing the cable from the gearbox, but it won't come out? Any tips for getting it out?

 

undo the bolt that holds it in?

 

done that!!

Still wasn't able to pull it out though??

 

Prise it out around the edge.

 

Prise what out around the edge? I lifted the plate off that was secured by the bolt?

 

The cable (on my 020 box) goes into gearbox the dia. of cable is about 10mm which goes into round metal part about 25mm dia.it has a small lip round edge to prise at.Personally my one just pulled out.

 

Got it out in the end, was a bit stuck, but managed to prise it out.

Ta for the help
