Lee, I freed up my speedometer by finding a container that would hold the working part of the speedometer and not the face. I filled the container with enough Marvel Mystery Oil to soak the works and then let it soak. I took it out once a week and tried to move the drive using a bent cotter pin. After about 4 weeks, I was able to move it, then I used the cotter pin to work the drive back and forth every day until it was completely free. The speedometer works fine now. I did pull the small cap covering the oil wick and oiled the wick with a fine oil similar to 3-in-one.

You will pay a big price to have this done for you, as they will completely rebuild the speedometer drive.
