Yes, the speedo housing can be very difficult to get out after all these
years even when the tranny is out of the car. I used large vice grips to
twist it to break the rust and a large screwdriver to wedge it up and
penetrating oil. I then used a hammer and the vise grips and hammered on the
vise grips to pull it out.
I never tried it when the tranny was in the car however.
