Thanks for the responses.
I’d imagine it is a very small tip screw driver? |

@Jamie - that's the speedo and the attachment in question is the short cable for the odometer reset dial. do NOT turn it while the car is in motion.....

Yes, it does pull out.
Use a curved needlenose plier to lever off back of case. Marks suggestion is correct too. How's your eyesight ? |

The whitish collar "clamps" into the back of the gauge.
A bit tricky, but it will come out. |
