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

Check with 911 Design in Montclair- Loren Beggs. If he doesn't do it, he will know who does. Replacing the pinion bearing is neither easy or cheap as I recall. For me, a replacement trans was cheaper.
