Default Delco Distributor Gear Removal

My 1962 305D V6 has a Delco Remy 1110282 2C8 distributor. I am trying to install a Pertronix electronic ignition, but the distributor shaft has too much lift. This requires that the distributor be disassembled and shims be installed to reduce the lift. I need to remove the bottom gear to do this. The gear is attached by some sort of pin that has been press fit into two spring plates (please refer to the attached picture). Is anyone out there familiar with this attachment mechanism? How is the gear removed and how is it reinstalled? Are special tools required?

Thanks for the help.
