Scott,
1) lay on driver's floorboard on your back
2) use flashlight to find the back-side of the speedo
3) wedge hand up behind instruments and loosen/remove two thumbscrews
holding gauge in
4) either unscrew the cable now or try to carefully tip the gauge out and
remove the cable once the speedo is partially out of the panel
5) remove instrument light/wire from speedo
6) marvel at your good work
piece of cake ... so dive right in :) ... good luck

Subject: Speedo repair.
As a very new DIY mechanic, Ihave reservations about jumping into the wicked
realm of speedo repair. I suspect that the cable is bad, I have tried to
gander beneath the dash, and I am afraid to jumo in and start ripping stuff
out. Can anyone give me a good step by step of the job, and hopefully
someone can supply some do's and dont's. I have yet to tackle the ever
prominent electrical challenge of this car. but I want to learn to be
proficient enough to repair some of the small things on my own.
TIA
Scott
