I need to remove a drive wheel from a Broadway limited PRR M1b 4-8-2 to send back to replace the nylon gear on the axel. What is the safest way to remove from the attached rods? (needle nose pliers?) Is the screw normal thread (turn: Righty tighty, Lefty Loosey) , or reverse threaded?) There is very little to grip on the screw head (Middle tire in picture) Thank you all!

send back the whole thing and let them do it all...if there's a mistake, there is only one place to look, lol
 
It's hard to tell from your photo, but if it has a hex head I'd use one of the small hex drivers I have.

But sending the whole engine back is probably the better call.

Well it is 20 odd years old and I did not lub it first before getting it out of the box after many years for a test run . I am happy Broad way Limited is taking the wheel set to pull, replace gear, and re-quarter
