I did mine today, really easy to do. Although it didn't cure the problem as the drive i took out was in good nick, must the cable or dials that are worn :(
I used the long screw and screwed it into the old drive, then using some needle nose pliers pulled the screw and it popped out, the just drop the new en in and push it back down, then pop the speedo cable back in, if you still can't do it, i'll do it for ya

Yeh no worries. Could write a little how to guide as well and sticky it until we have a area to put it in..
nice1 big hp.....i know how 2 do it, the plastic bit wasnt cumin out though....wot phase is ur car?
its workd on a phase 1 as stated above but not on mine - p2
pull out speedo cable and remove large white platic guide clip to expose drive. use a mirror or similar to see the white platic insert that ur replacing in the hole. get the long nose in there n grasp it FIRMLY. then ensure you pull at exactly the same angle as the insert, not straight up. this was my mistake n when i realigned it came out fine! drop the new clip on and push with the pliers till it goes no further! replace cable and clip! job done!
i might be nice later and take pics.
also the original 'white' drive is actually blue, it fades a lot though.
wen u remove the large white guide clip coops do u have 2 use alot of force?......cuz wen i tryd i was pulin quiet hard....didnt want 2 brake anythin though so i gave up :oops:
squeeze it slightly and it comes out easily. Unless....
the tip of the speedo cable can break off in the box thus trapping the bits you need to get out.

i tryed squeezing it and then pulling it out....also didnt work :(
the big white clip has two locating/holding bits at the bottom, tiny things, so i just squeezed it so that they released, that big clip was reasonably easy tho! if u got problems just with that then not sure whats going on!!!
if thats not coming out chances are the end of the cable is stuck in there. when you pulled the cable out did it have a nice snug fitting ally bit with an o-ring round it?
ill take a pic 2moro of the end of the cable....and ill try and get that god damn white plastic clip off as well!
tuk sum pics 2day....
heres the end of the speedo cable....

squeeze the sides and wiggle around in a circle, pull at same time
lads, i'm going to do mine today, so you get access to it from the top then, is it under the abs on the phase 2's?
also how difficult is it to remove the speedo cable and then white plastic thing?
that big white bit comes pretty easily for me today, however the small bit which is inside, did not want to come out at all!!!!
Gunner whats the trick? I am going to try and get winston to take a look at it when i go over next week, it did not want to come out, even with twisting and turning and pulling with long nose pliers???? :?

u mean the bit ur replacing? it took me forever get it out but when pulled at EXACTLY the right angle it gave up n popped straight out!!! persevere my friend it will come out!!
na not the bit im replacin....the plastic ring around the bit im replacin....see my 2nd pic!
ah right the bigger bit! that shud come out no worries, it just got two little plastic blobs on the bottom of it that hold it in! erm........not sure how to go bout it really, u've probs tried everythin!!like twising or pinchin it right?
You don't need to take that outer plastic ring off. Just screw a long wood screw in bit your taking out and replacing and tug with pliers. Really is as simple as that.
yep tried everythin coops! :(

will the bit im replacin still cum out though without removing the biger white plastic bit :?:
your obviousl;y being a tool. squeeze it and pull, theres nothing holding it in apart from small 3mm tags, if your to gay to squeeze it then why are you bothering?
easy chris mate, we aint all as handy as you! lot of this is a learning curve for us! aint got a clue what comes out before what n ho much u can force summit b4 it breaks!!
incidentally ill_moves matey, if u break that big plastic bit i got a spare u can have!! 8)
