Joe,

I too was unhappy to find that the banebots puller is useless, after buying it specifically for that purpose.

We made a plate awhile ago we use to remove it. It's a 1/2" thick aluminum plate, with a slot in it that goes most of the way through the depth of the plate, just wide enough to clear the pinion gear. We then mill a second through slot in the middle of this slot that acts as a clearance hole for the motor shaft.

You can then slide the motor onto the plate, and use an arbor press with any sort of pin to push the pinion off of the motor.

This has worked pretty well for us.
