Re: (ET) mower motor

 The GE mower motor's flange is keyed to the shaft. In order to remove it I
use a longer bolt, threaded into the armature, and a pitman arm puller. It
may be necessary to remove the flange from the hub, in order for the puller
to grasp the hub. It's no big deal, since the flange is friction brazed to
the hub. It can be pressed, [or beaten] back on, after you reassemble
everything. When the blade is bolted back on, it's not going anywhere.
