How can I wean from child from a pacifier?

I am currently on almost 4 hours of trying to get my son to fall asleep. We took his binky away 2 days ago . He has been fine since tonight . He has been having screaming crying fits . I would set a timer every 5 mins to go check on him and he just isn’t budging . I am at loss with this… he only ever uses it at bed time . We have been at months with him never using it during the day . Just to sleep . I don’t like hearing him cry… hence the 5 mins timer so I don’t run to him every 5 seconds lol . Cause sometimes he isn’t even crying he just yells for me . lol my girls were not this hard to get off it…
