Cory: I very much appreciated your response in your previous post. It saved me the time that would have been lost in ordering the Banebots puller to find it didn't work (I had it in my cart on their site). I suspect the longer pinion gear is just too much for the hobby puller to handle. We have an arbor press, and your aluminum fixture would be a great solution, but we have to borrow machine shop time and it would likely take a couple of days to get built. The slotted steel plate looks like a workable situation that could be made with basic hand tools, though it doesn't provide as secure a hold on the pinion. Maybe after build season?
Squirrel: Your solution as well as the nut breaker would work. We'll need to do the same thing with an RS550 motor and plan to reuse that pinion, so need to have a way to remove them without destroying them. By nature I am a pack-rat and it seems like somewhere/sometime we'll have a need for a 19 tooth gear (I have boxes of this kind of stuff), so I'll advise not destroyinng it.
Thanks to all for the flurry of responses. I'll offer these as suggestions to the team and let them decide how they want to do it.
