I have a 1968 beetle and I am trying to get the body of the chassis. However, I am having a little trouble removing the speedo cable. Could someone please let me know how to disconnect it from both the body and the wheel.

Thank you in advance.

There is a very small circlip on the hub: it's on the outside of the grease cap. Remove this and give the end of the cable a light tap to dislodge it from the small square hole it's in. The cable should then easily pull out from the rear of the stub axle

be very gentle pulling it out the back of the wheel give the cable a half spin L and R while pulling untill the whole cable comes out.

Thank you very much. I shall give it a go tomorrow (which is actually today). Just finally got some time to attack the major job of stripping the beetle in preparation for paint stripping and rust repair.
