Remove the Tacho cable retainer

Post by mac. »

Have just removed the front mudguard for spray painting and need to remove the retainer that the Tacho cable runs through. :think:

Can someone provide the key to removing the retainer? :handgestures-fingerscrossed:

Tx's :text-thankyouyellow:

I did the same thing as Tevan, applied some heat with a hair dryer and it made the rubber pliable enough to pull through the hole.

And of course the hair drier worked perfectly at removing the retainer ring!!!
