You really need to list the year model since they differ widely.

Outer sheath of cable screws to back of speedo. You should be able to reach up and feel for it.

It screws on, on some models, others have a push down clip that holds it. There are two electrical connectors that you have to reach around behind to disco as well.

Yes, I forgot there are two kinds. I now can't remember which is which, but it depends on whether you have a mainenenance reminder. I think the type with reminder in line, which includes the 87, has a clip and the other type has the screw, but it's been many years and I could have it backwards.

Climb uder and PUSH the cable from the t-case forward to give it some slack up front, then pull the cluster further out...enough to get your hand(s) back there. I have not seen the screw on kind, just a hard plastic white clip. If you have strong fingers you can just squeeze it together and pull it off (installation is reverse). I've had to use some extra uumph with a pair of pliers, but if there is enough slack in the cable it should come right off.
When reinstalling make sure the little square "key" fits back into the square hole or the speedo will not fully engage and it will hop.
