I’m replacing the inner primary on my mk3 and I would like to know how to remove the starter drive idler gear. Could someone please enlighten me? Thanks.
 
How do I remove said spindle?

Grip it with your fingers or pliers and pull it out.
Edit: Or, if tight, screw a bolt into the (1/4" UNF) internal thread and pull it out using that. Heat the case if necessary.

Ummm, I feel kinda stupid. Removing the spindle is very straightforward. Grasped it with a pair of needle nose pliers and it came right out. Thanks for making me feel inadequate once again LAB! Lol!
