We then mill a second through slot in the middle of this slot that acts as a clearance hole for the motor shaft.

You can then slide the motor onto the plate, and use an arbor press with any sort of pin to push the pinion off of the motor.

This has worked pretty well for us.
im having trouble visualizing this..... can you post a picture?
