Re: Off season projects

How about a drill press? You can use the drill press to try and push on the shaft to force the gear out. Not too good for the drill press though. Like what James said, hacksaw is good, it'll take some time. Maybe buy some metal lubricant at an automotive store, like the stuff you use to loosten rusted bolts (but I think that only really helps when it's rusted shut).
Worse case senario, clamp the pinion rock solid in a vice, then sit there with a file or an angle grinder and tear away at the gear until you get somewhat close to the shaft. Then just try pulling/ pounding it out. Yeah, and it will be very time consuming.
