Reduction Ratio Gear End Cap Removal

[[email protected]]

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?

The cap on the end of the reduction gear.

Are you asking about the speedometer drive?

What is the reduction ratio gear end cap?? If it the shifting lever just the 6 bolts on top lift off gasket may be stuck?

This is the Reduction gear (I think its a.k.a "Turtle").

I use a small flat blade screwdriver and work my way around it prying it a little at a time. Might be good to soak in solvent for a while first if it doesn't want to come out.
