*They're junk.
Hmm, well, what I did was kinda accidental- I had removed the rear endbell easily enough, and has trying to hammer out the front endbell, but somehow the vibtrations and sideways pressure on the windings caused them to start 'walking' out the rear end. I was using a long file and a hammer and tapping against the inside of the front endbell from the open rear end.

Not sure if that helps, but some kind of punch would work if you can remove both endbells, or try levering them out with a chisel. You may be better off talking to Lutach though, since he knows who OEMs alot of motors, so you may be able to source empty cans witha little luck...
