Speedo drive gear

It appears the speedo drive gear in the tail piece of my NP435 is stripped out. I would like to replace, but I'm not having much luck finding seals and gaskets for that tail piece. Also, it is still in the truck but I do have the cover off in the cab so access looks fairly decent. Has anyone on here done this work? Is it a bigger job than I'm thinking? Any help is appreciated.

Focusing on the upper right corner of this drawing you'd remove 375646-S (aka 371887-S) from the output shaft and remove the flange. From there you should be able to remove the speedo cable if not already and the bolts holding 7085 on for access if needed and then be able to see it clearly and remove it from the shaft. 17285 in the drawing.

That first nut is torqued on pretty tight. Putting the transmission in gear can help lock the shaft so it doesn't spin.
