I think there is possibly a difference between a Hillman gear box and a Humber one. My experience is of the Humber Snipe staff car and the speedo drive has a flange retained by two screws, withdraw this and the drive pinion and you might, hopefully have enough of the cable poking out of the pinion to withdraw it.
