Did you try heating the grub screw w/ a torch or your soldering iron 1st? I would recommend trying that before you start prying on that pinion. The 1 time I had to remove a pinion like that due to a broken wrench tip in the grub screw it actually bend the motor shaft & ruined the motor
yes ofc. its a 8mm shaft. i don't think this will be an issue..
maybe i am just overthinking. i always use heat when applied screws with loctite. the set screw wasnt the problem, as i said the loctite glued the pinion on the shaft 
I've used tools to pry pinions off before and the only thing I've damaged is motor mount plates lol. I've heard of someone snapping a shaft doing it, but he was the only person I saw who had such an experience.
Yea and when I started in the hobby I was getting 5mm shaft motors but now it's all 8mm whenever I buy a new motor. The bigger pinions seem to stay on a lot better too!
I searched hard and never found anything decent, not even for 1/8. Which one do you use? has it been working well for you? I've had to pry off so many pinions in my time. I'm terrified every time I do it but it must be done
I feel you brotha, the motorplate didnt like it at allI searched hard and never found anything decent, not even for 1/8. Which one do you use? has it been working well for you? I've had to pry off so many pinions in my time. I'm terrified every time I do it but it must be done
Do you have a link to it?
Size the unit appropriately for the pinion.
