Anyone know how easy a speedo drive on the gearbox is to replace on an F13?

Thought I had a speedo cable gone until I took it off - it's fine.

Went a few yards with the cable and pulse generator disconnected and the speedo drive hadn't budged. That told me the drive is gone, and I undid the small bolt holding it onto the gearbox and tried manually to move it/take it out but it wasn't exactly eager to budge. Not knowing whether I'd knacker something in the gearbox I stopped and put the bolt back in.

I'm going to replace the drive once I have my hands on one, but how does it come out? A little persuasion with a screwdriver to prise it out? Anyone with a Haynes tell me?

haynes:

"unbolt the retaining plate and withdraw the speedometer drive assembly"

so yes, you just need to pull it

Thanks for that! Will give it a go later on in the week.
