You can reach the retainer clip w/out removing the cluster. But if you're going to be wanting to properly lube the cable, removing the cluster is the easiest thing in my opinion.

Push in on the retaining clip and the speedo cable slips off. Then you can remove the actual cable from inside the shielding sleeve and lube it. I always take the cable almost all the way out and then apply grease on it as I insert it back in. Wearing some latex gloves and just using your hands is the best method. Trying to spray something in from a can does not work as effectively.
