Mate have a look at this how-to guide i made up. It is about how to repair a broken odometer but will show you how to get to the speedo. Once you've opened the instrument cluster up its simply a matter of loosening the needle and moving it a bit to loosen it up. If that doesnt fix it just pull it apart (its not as hard as you might think) and put a tiny tiny tiny bit of oil on the mechanism (with the fascia removed).

Hope this helps.
