removing pinion bearing

[v-8power]

I am replacing the bearings on my F-150s rear diff. I have the 2 side bearings replaced. My question is, How do I get the bearing off the pinion? I don't have a puller with long enough "fingers".

It is a 8.8 if that helps. Thanks for any info.

With a bearing knife

and a press.

Ok thanks. I'll see about getting one tomorrow.

I ended up taking to a shop and had him pull it. Only cost 5.00.

I got it put back together today and drove it. It is a whole lot quieter that's for sure.
