depending on RHD / LHD
i assume your car is left hand drive,
thake the cap of the wheel ( small black cap ) behind it is another black cap with a square hole and the speedo cable sticking through,
take the clip off.
now go into the dash, if its a 73 standard you shound be able to get it from the trunk and just unscrew it.
if it's a super then take the panel with the headlight window defroster and emergency flasher switches of by taking the smaller pannels out on either side, and a screw in the middle,
you now have a hole to stick your hand in and unscrew the cable,
also you can push the speedo out if u like, it doesnt bolt on to anything, it just sits in the rubber grommet

I just replaced my cable, but before that I stressed on how to do it because of the thin sleeve it runs in. All you do is take out the old cable, the new cable has two metal points on it. The straight one you feed from inside the vehicle to the back, where the old cable came out.

Your 71 super bug speedometer is different from stock it seems to be from a newer bug with auto tranny can you just put in the connectors and bulbs in slots that are there you still use it?
yes. the lights inside might not correspond to the lights in your bug but you can pretty much hook up any speedo and lights into another one. like there might be more lights in the newwer speedo than you need for your 71 but pretty much from 71 and on they were all the same. parts are interchangable
How do you remove old speedometer cable for a 1966 vw bug?
All you need to do is simply unscrew the cable from the speedometer. It should be on the right hand side on the back. The cable is routed from the trunk through the wheel well to the right front wheel. Take the hubcap off. Next, take the c-clip that is on the end of the speedo cable coming through the dust cap. Now you should be able to pull it from the back side of the brake backing plate. Guide it through the "bracket" and pull it into the trunk. There, it should be free!
