Ahh no worries personally when i do them i have a £25 iron ftom maplins thats adjustable power, with flat-ish tip once the wire is removed i then use a solder sucker to remove any excess solder on the speedo. Try and use a led based solder if possible as you will find it will flow alot better and you will get a much more pleasing to look at shiney soldered joint if you find you struggle to remove the wire from the speedo shorten the wire to a point you can still get hold with a small pair of pliers, by shortening it, it reduces the heat required or length of time you need to keep the iron on the joint to remove the wire this is because the wire doesnt act as a heat sink.
