Most ot them have a big plastic screw that holds them in place. Take a big slotted screwdriver and push inward as you twist the screwdriver.

crozewski, nice bike by the way
I have just got a Fuji Allegro, which is a step up from the Gran Tourer, and I really love the Allegro (it's now converted to fixed gear).

They crush apart easily with a large plier. Mash 'em. You can control the pressure around the spokes.
BTW: Nice old bike. I'm on the look-out for something like that myself. I've heard some rumblings of dissaproval about those stem mounted shifters, but I had such a setup back in '75 or so, and they worked great. Easy to reach. Not that easy to find these days.

Relace the wheel
Seriously, if you don't see anything holding it on firmly, then you can twist and yank it out without too much drama. Bending the spokes 1/4 of an inch is no problem at all.
