Yes, preferably with a cable cutter or a sharp chisel will work. There are other methods i.e. a cut off wheel would probably be best now that I think about it.

I got it to work. I doubled down and took it all apart from the driven gear up. I don't know if there was some crud in the drive end or what. I cleaned it all out , lubed speedometer, and it all went togethor. Sometimes you just have to back away, have a good nite sleep and attack it in the morning.
