Can't remove pinion gear

[ReV:-O]

Yes the grub screw is out. There doesn't appear to be any corrosion, I did use red threadlock on the shaft to keep the pinion in place, and it seems to be proving more of a problem to remove than I thought...

Tried using WD-40 and light motor oil, neither of which loosened it up.

UH OH. Never use Red Loctite. It requires heating to a temp of over 500 degrees to soften it's grip. This much heat will damage the motor.

Red is usually used for permanent instalation.

I would probably cut it off using a cut off wheel and a dremel tool. Taking my time to not over heat things.

Cut a little, dip the pinion in water, cut a little, dip, cut, dip, cut..........

Blue Loctite is a good choice for grub screws and pinions.
