Dam! Sounds like I cranked down to hard on it huh?....

Thannks for the info! I will try what you suggest madgenius.

Would it be ok to cut most of the way thru, so I am almost at the shaft threads, then heat up with the torch to try and pry and loosen? I would think the heat would help the alum to be more soft and get out of the Shaft threads...but I also don't want that heat to travel and damage the motor.
