I have removed the 8 bolts infront, lowered the steering wheel ½ inch
and removed the 2 lower 10mm bolts.
But I cannot pull it out and reach the speedo wire ?
You'll have to release the speedo clip, which holds the speedo in place, from underneath the dash. A flash light and long-bladed flat screw driver are recommended.

Hope this helps, I took a pic of the clip so you have some kind of idea of what you're trying to do. You need to push down on one side so that the end of the cable will clear. The clip sits at an angle and grips the cable. The tab should be located near the bottom and offset towards the drivers side. Or the seven O'clock position if you are facing the speedometer.
Thanks for the response, Is it easy to remove and attatch it again ? The wire ?
Is it easy to break it ? Cause I dont wanna lose the speedometer, and do I need to adjust something to get the correct speed after removing and putting the wire back ?
Or is it impossible to change the speedometer "setting" when removing the wire ?
one other thing you should do is remove the two screws holding the fuse block in place. i found that reaching up to reattach the speedo is much easier with the fuse block slightly moved out of the way.

Easy to remove and reattach, yes. No problem with breakage unless you somehow happen to break/damage the speedo needle with a heavy hand. There is no adjustment afterward. Plug and play.
