Bad pinion bearing on a 6 speed gearbox..?

It seems that the pinion bearing on my 6 speed tranny is failing (the differential has excessive noise when you unload it at low speed), a friend that specializes on P cars told me that you need a press with 40,000lbs capacity (..!) to replace the bearing...

I am planning to remove the pinion shaft, by any chance do you know where can I take it to get the bearing replaced?
