Once the cluster is free from the dash, unhook the speedo cable from the far end, and push it through the grommet in the firewall from the engine side into the cabin side, far enough to give enough clearance to reach in and work the clip thing.

I use a long, flat-bladded screwdriver to trip the speedo cable retainer. You can see a pic of the retainer in the following link:
