I have never disassembled my Volvo cable but have lubed plenty of British speedo cables. Typically, the speedo end of the cable (not the sheathing or cable housing but the cable itself) has a squared off end. By disconnecting the other end of the cable at the transmission, you can usually (again, the Brits like to do things differently!) just slide the cable out of its sheathing. I have then cleaned the old cable and applied a generous coating of light grease (I want to say molybdenum disulfide grease but don't hold me to that - its been a long time since I looked at the container). It might even be possible to do this with the cable still in the car but I normally do it on the work bench.
