There's a small spring clip that retains it; simply pop it off and the gear will slide off the end of the cable  ------------------

There should be just a retainer plate secured by a small bolt; remove bolt and plate and you may need to pry a bit as the cable end is o-ringed and might need some 'convincing' to pop out. Some penetrant lubricant may also help ------------------

ug ok i pulled it out and its a 16 tooth gear. now the reason i did this was to find out what gear i needed since my speedo is about 15 mph off when im doing 85 im really doing 70 so. i went and used this calculation thingy and it said that my driven gear should be 16 so somthing is wacked. what diameter tire is this 205/ 70 / r14? in inches bc i have no clue. im using a 3.20 rear end also so do i go up a gear ? bc i dont see a 15 tooth gear------------------
