Angle drive repair
Posted: Mon Jun 11, 2018 2:29 pm
Hi all. Is there anyone in the US who repairs our speedometer angle drives? Basically quil replacement.
Nisonger does not.
I managed to repair one of mine; popped out the sheet metal back, took the gear out
and pulled out the quill. I made a solid quil out of a 3mm allen wrench but not sure
how well my press fit into the gear will work. And I'm not sure a solid quil is the right
thing to do, since it seems the the spiral bound quil is the sacrificial piece when there's
a problem. Hate to chew up drive or driven gears.
