Replacing Rack gear on G4003G

Doesn't it have a brass shear pin on the power feed shaft?

I think it does but in any event it didn't let go. The power feed and the lead screw still work fine. I'm assuming the "tight" spots are still there under power but there's not enough resistance to cause any obvious problem. With the feed in neutral and the half nuts open I can feel the intermittant resistance in the hand wheel but I can still turn it. It was smooth as glass before the incident.
 
Grizzly just got back to me with step by step instructions for this job. Unfortunately all the parts I was hoping wouldn't have to come off actually have to come off. The gear and shaft are scheduled to arrive tuesday. Thx to all for the help.
