The best way to do it would be with an arbor press.

You *COULD* attempt to cut a wedge out of it with a dremel and remove it that way. I don't think this is a good method at all, but some teams swear it works. You have to be incredibly careful to make sure that you dont cut into the shaft, or get shavings into the internals of the motor.

Also, I believe Paul posted a drawing for a gear puller that can be made with a mill, on here last year sometime.
