To remove spedo cable you squeeze the sides of the connector to release it.Sometimes easier to say than do.

Were you able to get it off?
I ended up breaking it. I squeezed just as the manual said to but 24 year old plastic just don't hold up like it used to!

Just a little hint, it's alot easier if you can disconnect the speedo cable under the hood and let it slide through the firewall as you pull your cluster out, makes access to the back alot easier.
