Topic: Removing Rubber Speedometer Cable Holder

[DaveBarbier]

Anyone have any advice on removing this without destroying it or the fender?

It's not brittle and the rubber seems in good shape. Just can't squeeze it outta there.

Thanks

Use a hair dryer to soften it. Should come out easy.

Squeeze it with needle nosed pliers from underneath, then a small flat blade screwdriver to lift the edges out.

Thanks guys. Heated up with just a little heat from a heat gun and pushed it through with needle nose and small flat head. It was really stubborn but at first I was being too delicate.

Also, a little lube like ArmorAll will help the heat, etc.

In fact Armorall is all I've needed in the past to remove and replace it.
