You have to tap the little retainer pin out.

hi 88,
It's fairly easy once you get the dist. out. Just drive out the pin under the gear, and if the gear still doesn't come off, some WD-40 will do wonders. Just work it back and forth and it'll come off, trust me.

I've always used the old pin. If the new gear comes with a new pin then use the new pin.
