Re: speedo cable

Take the under-dash panel out and reach up from underneath.

Re: speedo cable

there is no other way sad to say. also if u cant reach ur hand up there, find the cable where it enters your floor board and try and wiggle it into the latch, thats what i did with mine cause i got big hands. just trace the cable as far as you can and do that.

It's usually fawned upon by creating multiple threads (cross-posting):

Seems you're getting covered via the first one already.

Good luck!
