I really appreciate everyone adding their ideas and tricks. I wish I had thought of the white gloss paint before doing this it would have been so much easier than the tape.
I noticed one person say they could pull their unit out a little to unclip the speedo cable. I was unable to do that with mine it was very rigid and no play room so I had to disconnect the plastic heater channel and lay on the floor mat and reach in with my left hand and disconnect it. Akward but not difficult - I'm a kind of thin guy with thin arms and hands which definitely helped in this situation.

You leave the back shell of the unit installed and pull the gauges out one at a time. The speedo is the most difficult as you have to unclip the cable. If there isn't enough slack you can get under the hood, locate where the speedo cable goes through the firewall and feed a few inches more in. That should be enough to allow you to unclip the cable from the speedo head.
You are fortunate to have thin arms and hands. I'm just the opposite, so working under dash boards is not something I do well at.
