Help on removing item from Eterna 1479K auto mechanism

Stripping an Eterna 1479K. Mostly ETA looking parts (not surprisingly), but the auto mechanism is different.

There's a part retaining one of the auto gears - I'm not sure how to remove it. It looks like it's pushed on.

Marks in the slot look like it's been twisted with a screwdriver.  

Any ideas ?

Hinges  around the pole its mounted on, push to turn.

Avoid taking it off the pivot.

Thought so, but better to check than break something !

It seems a bit crude when the rest of the movement is such nice quality - the click is beautiful !

If might be a screw, not just pole, either case you should avoid anything that may loose the retainer. 

I have seen some glued, which tells me must have got loose for whatever reason.

With a screwdriver in the slot, it turned smoothly. I wonder why they didn't use a screw?

Beats me.     Screw head if there is one,  would be on the other side, just like your ETA,  some variant do some don't have screw.
