Hi there. I was trying to remove my dash to repair a broken trip reset knob, and I hit a snag. It seems the threaded studs, where my speedo and tach cables attach to the back of the dash, are loose. So, when I try to loosen either cable, the stud just spins. Hence the cables are stuck (for now). Has anyone encountered this before? Any suggestions to hold those studs so I can unscrew the tach and speedo cables? Thanks!

From memory on my /7, there is a thin jam nut. If you see that, you'll need to get a thin wrench in there to hold it. See this #3 for the speedometer.

If that doesn't help, you probably need to lubricate lightly in this area with a penetrant.
