I do not. I'm far too scared of breaking my old, brittle pin!
I loosen the nut, bar the engine to the pin, remove pin, then use a puller to pop the gear off. I haven't noticed any jumping, and I've definitely double checked that the pin still fits at least once or twice.

I do usually over rotate a hair and come back though, which could be why I'm not seeing that happen?
