i have been having a lot of luck removing stuck pinion gears with a slide hammer.
Have a great Sunday!

Hey Tad! Yes, I use it in the extreme cases where this trick doesn't work. Here's a tip when using the slide hammer.... keep the nut on the pinion.... helps protect the gear from splitting when using the hammer. Barry

You're welcome , Steve. Thanks for taking the time to comment!

[@garricksreptiles2667]

I do the same but in most cases it’s pretty bad and I just wack the wrench to get the pinions out

[@TSGReelService]

Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! That can work.... just be cognoscente of cracking the frame.

@@TSGReelService yeah I try to pry with hot water or a lot of lubricant to get it free
