If you don't need to save the pinion, you could just mash the pinion in a vise until it breaks apart. The pinion's brass, the shaft is steel.

Thanks Guys! I just ordered a pinion Puller from ebay. First I watched a tutorial on youtube about how to use it. once it arrives... We'll see how it goes!

thanks again!
