Default 1977 Ironhead

I just got my brother's 1977 Sportster XLH 1000. He had reversed the lower forks which as you all know put the rotor on the right side and the speedo drive is on the left side. I purchased a new cable and speedometer. Can I purchase a speedo drive that fits on the left and will work? Also, what freaking tool do I get to remove the primary cover to put oil in the primary case? This thing leaks.
