When I pull my speedo, I end up having to pull my tach so I can disconnect the cable. Does everyone else do this, or is my cable inordinately short?

I usually reach up to behind the dash from below and kill my wrists and hands on the bodywork (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

to pulle only the speedo you need to remove the odo reset cable and the speedo cable then you can pull it out and remove the wires. I just did this a few month ago.

The cable is held under the dash by wire holders that you can bend back to free. The problem is the odometer cable. It has to be freed from its holder on the lower dash edge first before removing the instrument.

Ok, got that figured out. Now how do I get the bulbs out of the thing? Do the brass hodlers get pried out somehow? They seem like they are really in there.
