My Kratons motor bearing exploded and now is stuck and I tried the bread trick and it literary bent the cap where the bread was so I Viced it back into shape any ideas on how to get it unstuck or I’m stuck with buying myself a motor for my own birthday

Nobody has a toasted motor they can send the kid an end cap??

@jondilly1974 you are the motor slayer after all... no end caps?

I’ll send him a working motor if nobody else has just a cap...
 
Solution
I have changed motor bearings loads of times never had a problem. I just put it on a electric hob on full heat always just fell out
 
Torching it for a SHORT ! Time, then drop an ice cube, or Popcycle if you’ve got one on the bearing only, not on the plate, , should pop right out. I always carry dry ice & a torch into the mountains when crawling my 1/1 Jeep with 38” tires. Even if I don’t break, many others do gotta help each other! Heat is always the enemy…
