You will most likely need a puller to get the pinion head bearing off, but you can do it by applying some "warmth" to it and use a persuading device to get it off. just not too much heat near the pinion head and be careful not to hit the teeth. Gears are F strong though so you don't need to treat it with kid gloves

We have got a write up/how to coming out in either this months or next months LRO Mag (i don't which yet as i haven't seen it).
