anyone know of a way to remove the worm gear on the 3rd gen big haulers motor?

Actually, pretty simple if you have the right tools.

I have an arbor press, I can block under the worm with two 1/4" bars on blocks which leaves the motor suspended.

A small shaft which will fit into the shaft opening on the worm, press the shaft until the motor is free.

This can be done in a drill press also.  Probably done in a large vise.  And there are gear pullers that can be purchased, I have one of those from the old slot car days.
