Speedometer & Tach removal

[hawke]

Can anyone tell me how to remove the Speedometer & Tach from a "57 Tbird?? I need to have the speedometer rebuilt as it self destructed on a road trip from Fl. to Detroit area, after purchase. Do I have to remove the dash & how ?? Also where can I get a good shop/ repair manual for the Tbird??

Shop manuals can be obtained from any of the Tbird parts suppliers.

Trying to remove the Speedometer from my "57 Tbird, member Yadkin sent a "Gils Garage" article on the it, but I can't access the right side screws enough to remove them!! I have worked on many electromechanical machines, including some car work back in the day, so IF Anyone knows how to access the right side, from underneath, to remove this Speedometer I would LOVE to know how it's done!! Need all the help I can get, as I've spend Hours trying to do this!! Thanks!
