How do I replace the front pinion bearing on the rear axle?

The front pinion bearing on my truck went out and I can figure out how to get out the old race so I can replace it and the bearing. I'm at a loss considering it's my only vehicle.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Is the pinon gear is already out of the truck and are you working on removing the race from the pinion gear or the race in the housing. If its in the pinion gear I usually cut them off carefully with a grinder making sure not to score the shaft as this will cause problems later. if its the housing race you need to come at it from the inside of the differential with a long punch. You should be able to catch the edges of the race from behind looking through the differential from the gear side. If your hesitant about grinding the pinion race of you can use the big red wrench to heat it and tap it off when hot. Hope this helps.
