A pinion gear remover is the easiest and best way to do it, obviously.

I've done it with a jig that held the back end of the pinion gear and then I tapped out the shaft/motor with a punch.

To put back on the new pinion...I made another jig to support the tail end of the shaft while I tapped on the new pinion gear.

Honestly it was a pain in the ass...I would have bought a proper pinion gear puller/installer if it wasn't 2am in the morning when I did it.
