I have been looking for a while this is my first post.

I am wanting to remove the dash bezel and I Don't want to mess the speedo up. How do I remove the speedo cable

Grab the end of the cable where it goes into the speedo and turn it. It unscrews very easily.

The speedo cable unscrews as described above. To remove/replace the bezel, you need to remove the entire cluster assembly from the dash. There are screws around the edge that secure it to the dash that need to be removed, and usually a small bracket that secures it at the steering column. You also need to unplug the wire harness, and remove the oil pressure line (unscrews like speedo cable). Once the cluster is removed, the removal of the bezel is pretty straightforward.
