The BEST method is to break down and purchase a pinion puller. With out it you run the risk of doing perminate damage to the motor.

Sometimes the only tool for the job, is the right tool for the job.

i would agree with the pinion puller. but if you live so far away from a hobby shop that you get there once a year i would pickup a butane torch and some pliers. heat it up and pull it off.

If you live too far away, then order it online. Several people have tried the Heat method and no one has yet to say it worked. Most people have ruined their motors by getting it too hot.

People are pulling the stock pinion gears off their motors in order to use them on non-Radio Shack motors. That's the whole reason behind it.
