Hi,
I've just had a quick check Rob. The gear you want to remove is secured in position by a ring nut and I believe this ring nut is locked to the mandrel by a very short grub screw through its circumference; if it's like mine was then the screw will be slotted; slacken the slotted screw but take care not to drop it into the black hole under the bench. There should be just the one screw then remove the ring nut; the ring nut should loosen easily with a tap from a hammer onto a punch.
Take careful note and make sketches as to location of any washers; spacers and above all the thrust bearing.

Hope this helps.
Kind regards, Col.
