hi can any one tell me how to fit a new motor to back of clock to get speedo to work.

there's more detailed instructions here. That even goes on about how you might be able to repair the motor in some cases; but if you have the replacements just use them.

 

One of the things I discovered is that, the unit needs to be plugged in when you zero the needles - i.e. plug it in without putting on the transparent cover; start the car up and drive a bit to confirm the motors work (also resolves any forced rotations in the stepper), then fix the cover without unplugging it (it requires a bit of maneuvering). I think it's OK to unplug to fit the cover, but make sure the needles don't move.

You need to replace this part to get the speedo working again.
