93 Eldordado Problems w/ CD player and Speedometer

I have a 93 Eldorado that has on two problems that I lknow of:

1) I can't get a CD into the player.. nor do I see one stuck in it.

Is it relatively easy to remove this radio/CD unit ?


2) Occasionally the speedometer sticks on ' 0 '. Just a slight tap
or two above the speedometer on the dash will unstick it.

What can I do to fix this little annoyance? Is this an
electrical loose/corroded problem? A typical problem of
cars this vintage?


Other than these two quirks... this car is in excellent shape w/ less
than 47,000 miles.

I have original Cadillac shop manuals, but I'd like to hear from someone
who has had direct experience before I start to open it up.

Thank you!

Just remove the ashtray/console trim by pulling up around the floor
shifter to release the clips(I'm assuming it's floor shift) and
pulling toward rear and lay aside, remove the square plastic bezel
around the radio first. There should be four 10mm nuts on top and
bottom of radio and extract it. As far as the cluster sticking, it's
only serviced by repair or replacement.
