how do you remove the flex pin to get the tooth off the shank? is there a special tool i should buy?

It should bust be a roll pin? so a pin punch should get it out.

Many of them are a split pin with rubber in between. A regular punch usually works. If the teeth are close together they sell a curved punch to get around them. If too difficult take the torch and burn the rubber out assuming you are putting new pins in

They make a u or z shaped punch for doing it. When I did our hoe bucket I took a long punch and bent an arc to it so it would go over the adjoining teeth. I would think you could burn the rubber out. It might be a stinky smoky job. When putting the pins back in I usually use a vise grips or pliers to squeeze the pin together
