Re: Best way to remove fisher price pinion???
We made a plate a while back, and while pressing off a few FP pinions we bent the 1/2" plate!

We have since used a nut splitter/buster and would never use the pressing method again. The nut splitter works with a vice and and end wrench and snaps it off everytime without damaging the shaft. Can't reuse the pinion though...

You can get these at most hardware stores (Kragen, Napa, autozone, etc)
