easy way is to pull the cluster, reach behind and unhook it...there is a tab you push one sided and it slides right off. pull the cable out of the housing, lube it and put it back in.

I assume that the hand was jumping ?

Oh, hey, it's on the other side (left side of the car).

Yeah, there is a tab. It is a pita to get to.
