1993 Vitara Speedo

I have a 4 door 16 valve vitara that has a problem with the speedo. First it started making a whirring noise, the next day once I got over 40kph the speedo needle just went to 160kph and the whirring noise was deafening. Trying to get home as slowly as I could the needle went all the way to 160kph then spun off the spindle in the middle and is now sitting at the bottom of the speedo dial. Do I need a new speedo cable or maybe cable has come unscrewed? Is the four screws that you can see around the instrument panels the way I can get to the speedo dial? I hope no one is going to tell me that I need to take the whole dash out.
Thanks
Jan
