That pin is VERY tiny and easily lost. Be very careful of that. It is usually 
fixed pretty solidly in the hub, but take care of it.

As Dave Stinson says, it is probably easiest to remove it. It is not difficult. 
Nor is it difficult to reinstall it.

Also, as Dave says, make sure the tuning cap is at full-mesh before doing 
anything. I had forgotten to mention that. Sorry.

 Dave knows FAR MORE about these matters than I ever will, so follow his 
advice if anything I suggest conflicts with his.
