Hi.

This is how I got my speedo out of my 81. Don't know
year of your van.

Disconnect battery, remove plastic hood, disconnect
electrical connections and speedo cable, remove screws
(4) holding cluster to dash, remove cluster and turn
it around. You will see 4 screws holding speedo to
plastic.

Cheers,

Neil.
