Get yourself a copy of Vern Tardell's banjo differential booklet #10.

The early Mercury cars had a one piece pinion/drive shaft assembly. They eventually had the short splined pinion like the Ford models have.

If it has a 6-spline ring & pinion, it can be pressed as previously described. The one piece shaft has to be pulled using special tooling.
