Speedo...

How in the HECK do you change the speedometer cable in a 1988 Cam RS?!?!? It went out on me and I want to replace it b/c I think that a $10 cable is a better choice than a $110 ticket.

I have a HANES manual and it tells how, but it doesn't have any diagrams in it and I have tried my best, but can't get the bezel out of the dash far enough to fit my bear claw LOL in there to detach it! I had all of the other gauges out and the bezel unplugged and it still doesn't want to come out far enough. The only thing that was holding it in was the speedo cable.

Please, HELP ME!
