Default Speedometer help please

Im trying to replace the speedo cable on a 69. Im new to this generation. How do you remove the cable from the speedo head?? There is some sort of a clip there but I cant move it.

Thanks in advance.

On most you push on the clip toward the speedo while someone pulls on the cable from under the hood. Its hard to do both yourself while laying on your back under the dash. I pull the drivers seat so I can see what I'm doing.

I'm able to to mine myself, by pushing the tab with one hand, and use long handled needle nose pliers to pull the cable out.
