Do I need to be more forceful with the motor housing to "pop" it loose.  I
hesitate to do this.  I plan to reinstall the refurbished motors on a much

Any help would be much appreciated.

hi steven,  yes the motors should pop off once you have the 4 bolts out of 
the flange.  sometimes there is also a stainless steel strap clamp around 
the 
motor and a piece of deck framing, but thats pretty obvious if its there.  
    the motors should fit easily onto another similar deck.  perhaps they 
need some persuading to get them loose from the deck.  some gentle taps 
with 
a rubber hammer or a block of wood will probably do it.  good luck, jon k
