Default Need help removing pinion bearing stock 10 bolt

Okay, I can't figure out how to get the old pinion bearing out to put the new one in. I have the driveshaft dropped out and the seal off, but can't get the bearing to move. Is there a special tool or trick to getting it out? Trying to avoid dropping and disassembling the rear at all cost. Thanks in advance for any help!

Pinion bearings need bearing pullers and a hydraulic press to remove properly. On a buddy's car, once we had everything out, the only way to remove the stock pinion from the rear itself was a big fuggin hammer!

you need to pull the rear apart to get that bearing out, the bearing is pressed onto the pinion gear, and the only way to get the pinion gear out is through the differential.
