Once the pinion and windage knob are removed, just slip the aperture back into the base a little ways and push the part with the hole up and forward. The sight will pop right off. The rest of your parts are a mixture of different manufacturers. Common on rebuilds.

In addition........

This should help. This assembly/disassembly guide at the CMP website shows how. You can follow their instructions or as Latigo 1 says, after removing the windage knob and elevation spindle pull the aperture up a little and apply upward pressure and the whole thing will pop out, or use the screwdriver method as show in the CMP disassembly photos.
