I take it you are talking about the pinion that runs on the diff gear,,,,
Back off both grub screws fully,,soak with wd40 , crc, or whatever and either tap it off with a hammer handle or screwdriver handle.(has to be hard,but softer than the shaft & gear), persistance pays off.

No doubt a little rusty inside the gear, which has locked it on.

layshaft

heat also works great on this if you have small blow torch/butene lighter it makes the job alot easier

A small puller has helped me in the past. I think it is a battery terminal puller?

just had the same problem myself with my baja spur gear it was seized on to the layshaft, i used a bicycle cone spanner which i got in behind the spur and used as a lever , but had to give a good soaking with wd40 and then 3in1 light oil, after lots of swearing and brute strenth it came off, have now cleaned the layshaft up with low grit emery paper so the spur comes on and off with ease.

I sat mine through a socket and drifted the shafted out with a piece of 10mm bar & a big hammer :hammer: Came out 2nd hit Mine was due to them evil little grub screws cursing being rounded off tho and not actually being seized to the shaft.
