Got all the parts to fix my speedo angle drive leak that has been a problem since getting the car three years ago. However when I disassembled everything I discovered (as most everyone has) how hard it is to remove the sealing washer to get to the inner seal, so I said the hell with that and just replaced the large sleeve o-ring as per S.O.P. Put it back together and it still leaked. So...looked at it all very closely and decided to put an extra o-ring at the location in the pic provided below. I found a suitable sized o-ring in my parts supplies that fit nice and snug at that location. Screwed it all back together and voila- No Leaks from the angle drive whatsoever and I never had to touch the inner seal! Speedo works as always.

You may still wind up with oil getting pumped up along the speedo cable, where it will drip out from behind your dash and stain any light-colored pants you might be wearing....
At least I got a pair of "garage pants" out of that. --DD |

Damn. Thanks DD, I knew it was too good to be true. When I stain my pants I'll know it's time to bite the bullet and tackle that inner seal.
