Rear yoke off? Pinion nut removed? Sorry gotta ask, I've seen too many rookie mechanics around lately...

Once they are all off, pull off the diff cover, pull out the carrier and ring gear and start beating on the pinion shaft with a brass hammer or heavy dead blow. It'll pop and come flying out the back.

It welded the bearing to the races. How big of a hammer are you using?
