Speedometer Replacement/Cable/Horrible Day

it only needs to be dropped a couple inches. it takes about 10 minutes to take the 4 nuts off. one is on top of the other on the same stud where your ground wire is. it is only going to drop a couple inches. its easy. this is my column loose. if you dont, you are going to bust the cluster up

Thanks man I guess I'm just frustrated about the whole day. You know how that goes. Frustration makes the simply task immense. Any clue on my speedo cable?
