Removing pinion gears
 

How?

...It should just pull right off...

What do I use to pull it off?

uhhh....your finger :D

I tried that.

get a small flat head screw driver and push it off

Why didn't I think of that. . .Thanks.

Y do u wanna take it off anyways???:confused:

Getting new motor.

I think using your motor heat sink would do the job as well without damaging the gear. It's not sharp on the edges as compared to that of a screwdriver, reducing the risk of damaging the pinion gear.
