End bell removal on a sealed brushless can?

[rustnpede]

The motor mount holes on the endbell are positioned so that the leads on the other end hit a steering mount. I had to bend the leads back against the endbell to be able to squeeze the motor onto its mount. Kinda worried me doing this since the solder towards the end of the leads make the wire stiff. It felt like I was going to break something. The can is crimped onto the end bell. Is there anyway to remove the endbell so that I can reposition the motor mounting holes?
