I have successfully removed the rear end, and taken apart the rear axle assembly on my 1930 Deluxe Coupe. What is the best way to remove the keyed pinion from driveshaft? I have tried using several different gear pullers to no avail. My next consideration is to press the pinion off the shaft. How does one go about doing this, so as not to runing the threads and/or damaging the bottom of the pinion? I should mention that I discovered two teeth broken off of the pinion, so it will need to be replaced.

Any other suggestions to removing the pinion from the driveshaft would be appreciated.

Thanks.
