How to get to cable at back of speedo?

[garyb]

I can't seem to get to the cable at the back of the speedo. Can't feel it or see it. maybe my hands are too big. Is it best to pull the panel out from the front in order to get to it? I have an 88 turbo

Yes, that is how I had to do it, Once you get the gauge cluster loose, you can get a hand on the speedo release tab.

Agreed.

I replaced my 1st one without removing the guage cluster... cut up my arm and it took forever....(gawd I've learned alot since then ;-) Take the cluster out and be done in 30 minutes.

I got the cluster out and the cable was not attached to it. It is attached instead to a bracket that is still in place. In an 88, is this the way to do it?
1) replace cable, attaching it to this bracket. 2) Slide cluster back in, making sure that the square end fits into the square hole?

The cable stays attached to the bracket. You just line the spline on the cluster up so it slides into the sleeve.
