The speedo is held to the cluster by 3 or 4 screws. If it has a trip odometer that knob and cable will need to be removed from the bottom dash edge too. Once the screws are out the speedo should pull back but it may need a bit of juggling to get the face out of the hole. Just be careful not to catch the needle on the edge of the cluster hole.
Here is a photo of the rear of an old cluster that I think BDeB posted some years ago. I marked the approximate screw locations with white circles but they are hard to see because of the rust. As I am sure you have already found out, there is not a lot of space back there and the wire loom may fight you too.
