You need a puller - a device that usually has a threaded rod in a frame - you place the flywheel on one side of it and tighten the bolt to press the driveshaft out. However, considering the price of these items you might want to consider buying new flywheels. (unless you're planning to branch out into loco repairs...). The driveshaft couplings should just pull off with enough force - I would be wary about using mechanical aids (pliers, etc) to remove them as it might cause damage. <br /> <br />Just a thought, but what's wrong with the old bearings - are they worn out or do they just need a drop of oil? I've had a few motors previously thought to be dead that powered up after this treatment. Hope this helps!
