Default C8.25 pinion bearing

So I need to replacethe pinion bearing in my c8.25 I have everything apart but not it seems like the pinion itself is stuck in the bearing. Is there a trick to getting it out or just B.F.H. and some time?

Do you mean the inner or outer bearing? Do you have the pinion out of the housing?

To get the bearing out of the housing, yes just a BFH & someone to catch the pinion.

For the inner bearing you are gonna need a bearing splater, puller, or a press!

Both bearings are shot I have the carrier out and was trying to get the pinion out but it seemed like the bearing was frozen. I got it out now tho thanks to a 3pm sledge hammer

I got the pinion out earlier today the outer bearing was pretty much destroyed. Sorry no pics like stated before it's messy as could be and my iPhone doesn't like oil.
