I have the reduction ratio gear end cap off my 31 roadster. I need to get the gear shaft out to inspect it. How do I pry the end cap off without destroying it? Is there a trick to it?

Spark Plug Testing
When testing Spark Plugs, in my case Champion W16Y, what should the Ohms be? I've got 2 plugs reading fairly high (4.4), and 2 plugs reading fairly low (about 1.7).

Re: Speedometer Cable not turning
Are there any video or instructions on how to accomplish this? I see a lot of information about servicing the speedometer and cable, but not about the drive mechanism for the speedometers.
