How to remove Cam from Dial Rod on old S&G floor safe

I have an old S&G floor safe that needs a thorough cleaning. How do you remove the cam from the dial rod? Is the rod threaded?

pull the spline key out of the threaded rod, the spline key is a brass plate that is press fit into a channel in the cam and spindle rod. pry it up or pull out away from lock with pliers.
