240z dash bulbs

Apr 27, 2004 Last reply: 22 years ago 1 Replies

Looking for advice on how to replace some of the bulbs on the back of the speedometer head on a 71 240z. I can get the lower wing nut out but i cannot get to the top on to pull the speedometer out. The local Z shop wants $100+ to replace 3 bulbs on it. Would it make it any easier to go thru the center console, take out the tach and get thru that way, or is there a secret to getting to that top wing nut? TIA Shannon

There is no "secret", just get it off! :-) Seriously you may have to remove some other stuff to get to that wingnut.
