Use a BEARING-SPLITTER and a press.  Possibly heat too.  The splitter is 
the right tool; a puller will break.

In addition, I have noticed that even though my motors were passing the 
"slow spin" test, as soon as I tried to spin them by hand faster 
(totally disconnected) I could feel some serious resistance.

Thus I think my problem might ultimately be bearings that are bad at the 
bottom of the motor. Any ideas on how to get the darn blade collars off? 
I think I wrecked my 4 inch pulley puller.
