I always use a #2 pencil.  The writing end isn't
sharpened, just shaved down enough to be a tight fit
in the hole in the top of the gear.  I just push it in
then pull and wiggle gently till the gear comes out. 
Since I have to go carefully it helps prevent losing
the washers.  It's also works for replacing the gear. 
I just give it a little twist once the gear is
engaged, and it slips right out of the hole.

This particular pencil always stays in my toolbox.

I think you can buy the actual tool from JC Whitney.
