RE: removing motor shaft.
I think you will need to put more omph into forcing the shaft out. They rarely just slide out after loosening the set screws.
As long as there are no snap rings on the shaft, you probaly just have a burr on the shaft from the set screws. Just make sure
you press it out straight.

Some shafts are press fitted. You may need to use a hammer and some fixture to remove it. I've drilled a hole the same size as the shaft in a piece of hardwood and the place the motor over the hole so that I could tap it out.

If you can do so, it is MUCH better to press a shaft out, than resort to hammering.
