Hi Bruce,
The roll pin has to be driven out preferably with a roll pin punch. The
coupler will then slide off the stub on your steering gear. You'll see there
is a wider spline at the top to index it so that it can only be put back on
one way. When you get if off (sometimes it takes a gentle pry) you'll see
there is basically two sections of spines on the gear. The area in between
in where the roll pin goes to hold the shaft on the gear. Hope this helps.
