It depends on the glass transition temperature of the particular epoxy which was used.
If you can heat the epoxy above its glass transition temperature without exceeding the temperature which would damage the motor that would allow you to separate the parts.
Once separated, you could use xylene or acetone to soften and remove the epoxy. Use chemical gloves and adequate ventilation.
