Steinism, don't know if you've seen my story about my attempt to get to the speedo pinion, but I can tell you it's really not a D.I.Y. job. I see you're replacing your t-bars, and you'll have to remove them to do the pinion anyway, but that's about 1/3 of the P.I.T.A. you're up against. Email me if you want more info, but suffice to say, I spent over 3 hours fussing with 4 nuts and bolts alone and I never even took 'em apart.
