I had to briefly remove the gear when I did mine - but the chain had to be a little loose to do this, and I had my cam followers and tensioner removed. I don't think that removing the gear would be a good idea otherwise. I was so paranoid about dropping a guide into the engine that I managed to get wire through the holes where the pins were, so that they couldn't be dropped.
