(I was wondering if any of these didn't involve a pinion swap, because we do not have an arbor press in our shop, but I'll bet we could find someone to do it for us if it came to that.)
With enough creativity, patience and a bench vise, you can press a pinion on the FP shaft without a problem. As for getting the pinion off, there are many different ways that don't involve a press.
