Can't tell for sure with all the dirt on it, but it could be a snap ring. It doesn't look like it uses the same e-clip as the other gear to the left is using.

Not a snap ring, unfortunately. That’s just the top of the brass fastener, it has a tubular body that passes through the gear. The second picture shows how the other side of the fastener.

I didn't see the second pic. That looks like it was peened on so the gear is probably on a flanged axle that would not come off unless you removed the axle from the bracket.

You might be able to get it off by using a hammer and a punch to try and narrow the side in the second pic so it will fit through the hole. Then have to peen it back on later. Or you could grind/file off the end sticking out in the second picture, but would likely have to replace that axle pin afterwards.

Excellent, thank you. I will try the hammer and punch.
