2004 MinnKota 74 lb, 52". I've disconnected the control head but can't remove the gear that holds the yoke on. Is there a pin or screw that I'm not seeing? Didn't see any in the schematics. Or is it just pressed on? Thanks.

I fond my problem. I released the collar that holds the outer shaft enabling the outer shaft to slide down. This exposed a collar with 4 screws that holds the main pinion gear in place. Once removed the main pinion slid out. I was then able to replace the pivot yoke. .
 
I was able also to remove the pivot pin . Had to remove the trolling motor from the base. The remove the base from the boat. Set it up on 2 sockets with the right side up. drove the pin out with ease. replaced the yoke tube and drove the pin back in.
