Default Replacing Speedo

My speedometer doesn't work, so my plan is to buy a new one (I want one that goes above 80) and to buy a new cable (figured replacing the old with new is a safe bet). My question is; is there any other part I need to buy? Also, last summer I tried pulling the speedometer out, but it wouldn't come. I am pretty sure I got all the screws, it would come out slightly but not all the way, is there something I am missing? Something that it gets snagged on?

Does your car have cruise control? If so, you car has 2 cables.

That it does, not sure I would have taken that into account. On the plus side, it works, so I am not worried about that cable.

yup, if that's odd, then I don't know what to say, I just know what works and what doesn't.
