The speedometer cable on a 1986 Chevy Celebrity is between the speedometer and the transaxle. To remove the cable from the speedometer according to the factory service manual:
1. Remove the trim panel below the steering column. Take note of what you take off, you will need to replace it.
2. The cable is held to the speedometer with a quick disconnect. Reach up under the dash and push the release to disconnect the cable. The release is near the top of the cable. I would put a wire or string around the cable to guide the new cable in place.
To remove the cable under the hood:
1. Pull the speedometer cable out thru the firewall. If you put a wire or string on it to guide the new cable in, take it off the old cable.
2. Take careful note of the routing of the old cable, follow the cable down to the transaxle and unscrew the fitting at the transaxle and take the cable out.
You should now be ready to install a new cable. Put the cable in place in the transaxle and tighten the nut. Route the cable as the original was, then if you put a wire or string in place attach it to the new cable and start it in the hole thru the firewall.
Inside the car:
If you used the wire or string pull on it to draw the cable inside the car, guide the cable into place on the speedometer housing and engage the latch. Remove the wire if you used it.
Put the trim panel under the steering column back in place.
