Hi,
Well said Joe.
The gear should come off easily enough Rob; check for fastenings like grub screws but unexpected in this location; the key might be a woodruff type? Usually a bit of brute force helps either by levering or tapping with an hammer against a bit of brass bar but be very careful not to leave a lot of gums or mark the shaft. Once the gear moves it should pull free. If you can arrange an extractor this of course would be best but rest assured the gear will come off.
Kind regards, Col.
