speedo swap

i just recently bought a 145mph speedo. just the guage, not the cluster. i want to replace my 85mph speedo with the new unit. i have never pulle the stock guages out of the car so i am not really sure what to expect. anyone have any pointers on changing mechanical cable driven speedos?

Hey man it's not hard to do take the torx screws out of the face once that is off there is two 10mm nuts one next to the brake lite and one next to the check engine lite.Drop the steering coulmin down pull out on the cluster the worst part is getting your hand back there to push the clip on the back of the speedo.The cluster should pull out after the cable is unhooked.PM me if you need more help.
