Hello anyone.

I was going to replace a couple of bulbs in the turn signals and the intsturment cluster non-gauge package one just fell apart.  The plastic was destroyed from the years and all the gauges fell out in my lap except the speedometer.  I cannot get that white clip to release that is holding the speedo cable to the back of the gauge. 

Can anyone help tell me how to remove the cable from the back of the gauge.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Paul

Thanks alot,

I messed with that thing for hours.  Guess I am just that dumb.  Got the dash apart but couldn't conquer that little clip.  Knew there had to be a secret to it plus holding your mouth just so.

Again, thanks for your help, much appreciated.
