Default Pinion Removal Need Help

Hey guys i could really use some help here. Today i was doing the axle seals in my dana 30 and managed to get dirt in the diff housing while cleaning out the tubes. I noticed the pinion had some dirt on it so i went to clean it and spun the pinion. Now there is dirt behind the pinion gear in the bearing. All i want to do is remove the pinion just to clean it. Any Tricks to get it out?
