Use a screwdriver to press down on the front portion of the leaf spring that sticks out between the front of the rear sight and the rear sight housing. Once you have it down far enough either grab the back of the sight and pull, or you can try to use the screwdriver you are using to press it down to pry it rearward.

Reinstallation is easier and can be accomplished with a BFH
