These pinion tapers are never as tight as flywheel tapers. Usually, I can just jam something between the loose pinion nut (leave it in place loose to ensure you don’t bung up the driveshaft threads) and clutch dog, then rap on the prop shaft with a heavy plastic mallet, to pop the driveshaft tapers loose.
