How do I remove the pinion gear from the driveshaft? do I remove the baring retainer nuts then the shaft from the housing, and then use a puller?

No, on the end of the pinion gear where the driveshaft protrudes (inside the differential housing) will be a keyed nut that is screwed onto the threaded end of the driveshaft. That needs to be removed. The pinion is tapered as is the driveshaft. I have a special fixture that clamps onto the driveshaft and I can press it off. You may need to find a way to "safely" strike the end of the driveshaft to free up the two tapers.

Mitchell makes a nifty pinion puller for a reasonable price.

It kind of depends on whether or not you have a very early rear axle like mine(which normal methods don't work on) or one of the newer(I think post Octoberish 1928) rear ends.
