When I rebuilt my t/case the speedo drive unscrewed fairly easily. It just had 50+ years of dirt and grease. try working it back and forth with some PB Blaster or something like it. You should be able to spin the gear on the adapter and the speedo should bounce a little bit. In the case the speedo drive gear is held in place with a ball bearing onto the output shaft.
Good luck,
Ed
