I put my engine back in car and bolted drive shaft and trany and all and then realized I forgot to put speedometer gear on drive shaft. Do I have to pull all bolts and slide engine ahead to take u joint out to put in the speedo gear I so stupidly forgot to pput on the shaft. What a pain I created. Any suggestions. Thanks Dennis

Are you talking about the gear 'on' or 'in' the shaft? 'On' is no problem at all, 'in' means pulling the diff.
