  Easy to take ALL the worms out of removing the face and needle.  Lift the 
needle over the zero pin.  Note and mark where it rests.  There actually 
should be a small hash mark where it stops.  Put something supportive 
under the needle/around the pin.  Needle nosed pliers generally work well.
Pull.  It will pop off, two screws and the face comes off.  
  As Roger said, cracked gear can be repaired or replaced.  Metal gears 
just need the shaft roughed up a bit for bite. Reassemble so that the 
needle rests where it was at rest, lift it back over the stop peg and tada!
  If the speedos are otherwise identical for bolt up you have to make sure 
the little number at the bottom matches.  If it isn't the same then your 
speedo will be off at all speeds.
