The speedo is cake, like repairing a truck engine. Of course, this is what I also work on/repair/customize:





Here's the latest custom I've built (Bill Yao MKII Mil dial, ETA Swiss 25 Jewel Gold Plated movement, Mercedes white lume hands, SST case with saphire crystal and view back, Seiko Military band - wholesale $340):







The speedo is easily removed from the cluster, but you have to unscrew the oil press/temp pod first. Remember to fix the Odo while it's out. Just pull the rod out far enough to pinch it with some dikes then press it back on, will never spin again (don't lose the brass press ring when you press the shaft out.)
