You sure can. It’s one of the easier jobs you will ever do.

As I recall, a split pin holds the drive gear on, remove it, the shaft will slip out the top and not much to it after that…

Use a drill bit of the proper size and use it as a drift. Grind off the “sharp” end and hammer on that. Notice that the hole is slightly offset, so the drive gear can only be installed one way. If you turn it 180 degrees, the pin will not go back in…Support the gear on a block of wood as you drive the pin out…
