I am removing the instrument cluster on a 69 Mustang to do some
restoration work. I have all the screws out and the wiring harness
disconnected, does anyone know how to disconnect the speedometer cable
from the back of the speedometer?

Or in 1971 at least, you just pinch the white plastic clip and slide it
out...

It's clipped in on a '69. The clip is white and you have to find the tab to
push while you slip it off the back of the speedo.
