Change shapes of two circular shapes

I've got two shapes forming a circle.

The two colors represent percentages of fulness / emptiness.

I'd like to change the ratio full / empty by changing the shapes, making the full (dark gray) shape bigger.

Is there a way to do that without messing up the curve of the circle when using the Direct Selection Tool ?

    from scratch, i'd probably have two shapes, something like this:

    give the circle a thick stroke and the outer shape (placed on top) a white stroke and fill, with the fill reduced to 50% or so. then if you want to change the percentage, move the 'arms' around.

    Please show the outline view.

    But I suppose it's easier to build this new. It's pretty simple.

    You have expanded the shape.


    Is there a way to remove that or do I need to re-do the shape ?

    And I just didn't go under object -> Expand... and there is no keyboard shortcut for it it seems.

    It looks like it decided to expand itself.
