First, pop the hood. The speedometer cable screws onto the transmission on the top side. It might help to unclamp and move the hose leading from the air cleaner to the throttle body. Reach down behind the engine and unscrew the speedometer cable from the transmission.
Next, remove the instrument panel. In order:
A few screws on the bottom side of the steering column
The plastic panel at the bottom side of the steering column
The plastic panel at the top of the steering column
This one's kinda tough, but it can be removed without removing the steering wheel first.
A few screws on the underside of the trim surrounding the instrument cluster
It's hard to describe what plastic piece this is, but if you were to grab the dashboard by reaching around the steering wheel, the screws would be where your thumbs are.
This plastic piece
You need to disconnect the leads going to the dash light dimmer on your left, and the emergency flashers on your right. With enough trying, you can get it past the steering wheel.
The instrument cluster itself
There should be three or four screws holding it in place. Just pull it forward enough for you to get your hand behind it.
Unplug the speedometer cable from the instrument cluster. Then pull it through the firewall (while standing outside of the car. Don't try to pull it into the car).
Install everything in the reverse order.
