Sometimes you can remove the RF deck without removing the band switch shaft, but in my experience, I usually have to remove it before the RF unit will come free from the main chassis.

So...

Using your pliers, carefully turn the band switch to the AM (standard broadcast) position. When the flatted side of the shaft is straight up, it should be in the AM position.

Carefully using a flat-blade screwdriver to pull the RF unit up, remove both bolts holding the band switch shaft in place.

Now pull the band switch shaft out and set it aside.

The chassis now looks like this:
