I went to a local hobby shop and purchased a generic pinion pulling tool for RC helicopters ($26). I had to modify the base with a metal file to fit under the larger airsoft pinion head. Once that was done it came off easy.

The guarder pinion replacement heads went on easy after putting it in a vice with a washer on the bottom to support the motor shaft. Once the old pinion is off it takes less then a minute to fix.

Instead of buying new motors just fix the perfectly good old ones.
