After aquiring an 88 LX hatchback and am in the process of trying to fix a problem with the instrument panel problem but do not know how to remove the speedo cable from the panel. Was hoping someone could give some help to a newb to Mustangs.

They're made to come off with your bare hands, you just squeeze the plastic clip and wiggle the cable until it comes off.

What 5.0 bird said. I havetaken mine off twice and I just sqeeze the plastic and pull it off. Mine usually made apopping sound too, like when you open a bottle of wine...

Whats wrong with your speedo?? 5.0Bird is correct.

I had a problem that sometimes my speedo would stay at 0 and not move for a while then all of a suden jump up.

I had my cluster apart to mess around a bit and found out the little peg that holds the speedo needle at 0 was sticky. I cleaned it off and never had this problem again...

Ford stopped using the screw on speedometer connector in 68 or thereabouts.

then that bolt must have been the thing under the plastic
