no you dont, just unscrew the front housing, and take the switches out, unscrew the instrument pod and tilt forward to unclip the speedo cable. It takes about 10 minutes to do it. I've done it more times than I care to remember, it's very easy.
I don't own this anymore - I just can't be arsed to change the picture

Cheers the boy, thanks Carrie
So take the switches out from the side then tilt the clock  forward? The bolt that goes into the gearbox is that a pain to come off?
