Step 1: Preparation

Before you start assembling the reinforced speedometer, make sure you have all the tools you need. This includes a wrench, a cross -slot screwdriver and, if necessary, pliers. Also check whether the new speedometer wave is in good condition.

Step 2: Remove the old speedometer wave

To remove the old speedometer, you must first open the tachometer housing. Loosen the screws with the wrench and carefully pull the housing off. Then separate the speedometer wave from the housing and from the drive on the engine.

Step 3: Use new speedometer wave

Take the new reinforced speedometer wave and first put the lower end on the drive on the engine. Make sure that the wave clicks properly. Then guide the wave through the housing and connect it to the speedometer.

Step 4: fasten the speedometer

After the new speedometer wave is used, fasten the tachometer housing. Make sure that all screws are tightened to prevent the wave from slipping.

Step 5: carry out the test run

Start the engine and check whether the speedometer works properly. Make sure that the needle increases evenly. If everything works correctly, you are ready with the exchange of the speedometer wave.

Step 6: Care of the speedometer wave

In order to extend the lifespan of the speedometer wave, you should regularly check whether it is neatly lubricated and not damaged. Make sure to protect the shaft from dust and dirt.

How do I recognize whether my speedometer is defective?

A sign of a defective speedometer wave is when the tachometer no longer reacts or the needle jumps. In such cases, the wave should be checked immediately and replaced if necessary.

Can I change the speedometer myself?

Yes, changing the speedometer wave is usually a simple task that can also be carried out by a layperson. However, make sure to follow the steps carefully and to have all the necessary tools available.
