I think they DO care, because they don't want to damage the motor.

The best way is going to be by heat, but lots of it. Either a heat gun or torch (even better) might work.

Also, acetone apparently "loosens" the epoxy a little bit, but not very much.

Of course, the other way to do remove the shaft and epoxy is with a lathe!

Name a problem a lathe can't fix!
