Where it attaches to the cluster there is that plastic clip. Under the collar of that white plastic clip. usually towards the bottom side there will be a little push pin retainer, you will only be able to see a tiny bit of it unless you pull back on that plastic piece. It's looks like a flat head screw almost, push it in and pull out on the cable.

Huh, on both my cars. under the plastic clip there was a round metal push pin. you put a small screwdriver in it and wiggle it some, then the speedo cable slides out when the clip disengages. Takes all of about 20 seconds....
