Got it out. Took a die grinder and a chisel to break apart the inner race so the pinion could get past the outer race & roller bearings.

Housing is in good shape still. Just need to see if I can get the inner race separated from the pinion gear to evaluate the condition of the gear.

Worst thing that happens is I have to get another set of gears for it.

I will get some pics of it when I get home.
