Default 1930 speedo gear case question

I bought a new speedo cable square end , my old cable was rotted away at the tourque tube, when i took the speedo gear case off I noted that it was cracked 3/4 of the way around. I have another case but need to replace the gear. Is there a video on how to get that gear out or can someone explain it?
Thanks and Merry Christmas to all.

FWIW

Remove the welsh plug and you can remove the shaft that the gear runs on and remove the gear. Repeat the process with the second drive unit. Reassemble the good case and gear.

You may have to drill a small hole in the welsh plug to remove it. You should be able to get a replacement welsh plug from your local friendly NAPA parts dealer. If not solder the hole and reinstall.

If you don't have time to do it right the 1st time, how do you have time to do it the 2nd time?

Thanks 160B...I got the shaft out of the first one by it breaking in half at the first intrusion. the second unit was sand blasted months ago and was stuck on the shaft. After a bit of twisting and turning i got it out with out removing that plug. I have to order a square drive shaft, the other two are keyed...then i should be good to go.
Thanks again..
