Default 1992 DynaGlide Custom Front Fender removal

The Speedo cable connects to a front wheel drive on the axle but it does not look like the cable detaches from the drive piece. The cable passes through a bracket that is riveted to the fender. I cannot remove the fender without pulling the cable through the fender bracket. Does the speedo cable need to be removed from the speedo and be pulled down through the fender bracket? Or is there a way to detach the cable from the drive on the front axle so that the cable could be pulled up through the fender bracket? Any help greatly appreciated!

According to the lubtication instructions from a service manual I foud at www you should be able to pull out the lower cable end from the drive unit:

"Lubricate the cable annually or whenever the speedometer needle operates erratically.
1. Disconnect the speedometer fitting from the back of the speedometer .
2. Pull the cable from the cable housing.
3. Clean off the old lubricant.
4. Apply speedometer cable lubricant to the cable.
5. Install the cable into the housing. Turn the cable so it engages the drive unit at the lower end. When the cable stops
turning, the lower end is properly engaged.
6. Reconnect the upper end to the speedometer"

The drive piece has a tiny screw in it that holds the cable in it.

Default Thank you!!!

After posting my question it occurred to me that maybe there was a retaining screw at the axle drive unit that when loosened would allow cable removal. Thanks for confirming!
