Jim, the cable attaches to a nylon gear that goes into the trans.  I 
hope you have small hands or patience, as you take off the cable 
retaining bolt to the trans, and pull out he outer cable, and you should 
be able to get to the remaining gear with needle nose pliers.

It has been so long time since I worked on a top loader, and I am not 
sure, but there is an access plate on the trans tunnel, drivers left 
side, and you may has some access to the cable from it.

After getting everything out, make sure the new cable assembly has the 
same length end that goes into the speedo.  If not carefully grind it to 
the same length, so you don't damage the speedo.

See United site, re this.

Good luck.

Larry
