unscrew the speedo cable from the transmission then remove your dash put your hand behind dash and feel for a spring type bracket it goes around cable push in on this and pull cable from dash this is without cruise control if with cruise remove from trans then from cruise if other cable remove from cruise then from dash hope this helps

how does cruise have anything to do with the speedo cable? Cruise works off the gas pedal.

the speedo cable has NOTHING do to with the cruise module. the cruise control has a cable that comes from the TB, to the cruise module, and anothe cable from the TB to the gas pedal, the speedo cable runs from the tranny to the dash, plain and simple.

On some cars it does. On the J's it does not.
I dont think he was trying to deliberately steer anybody in the wrong direction.
