speedometer cable replacement, any tricks? Options

[jfort]

I did a search and didn't see anything. Probably too simple, but I can find a way to screw up the easiest task. I am looking at the factory manual. Replacing the speedo cable sounds easy but the pictures are not too good. Can someone describe the process? My gauges are out. Disconnect from transmission and pull it out? Fish the new one from rear to front?

So if you decide to replace your speedometer cable it can be more than the 15 minute job some of the other posts here describe. AC added a level of difficulty. The odometer cable was pulled tight and connected to the AC unit in a way that left no slack. Here are the steps I would do if I had it to do again.
Remove the center console and arm rest.
Disconnect the odometer knob from the AC (tricky)
Remove or just loosen pedal board
Pull the speedometer out
Label wires
Disconnect everything from speedometer
Cut tie wraps and release metal wire secure tabs
You can then replace the cable no pull string required
Put it all back together
