Default Removing Pinion gear

I've got the ring out and the yoke off and the pion nut removed. How do I get the Pinion out?

Thanks
Brian

I mount the differentials on an engine stand so they're easier to work on. With the yoke off,either have someone hold a wood block under the pinion gear or make up a strap to go across the bearing cap holes to catch the pinion. I use a 7/8"diameter brass rod to hammer the pinion out,it won't take much so be sure to protect it from dropping to the floor.
