Re: Drill Motor Gear Specs?

Well the experiment has taken place, and with much success. While I agree that a press is a much safer bet, I had a very hard time fitting a plate between the pinion and the motor, so to the dremel I went. I first masking taped the ENTIRE motor, so that shavings would be reduced to a minimum. Instead of using a cutting wheel though, I used a grinding stone to grind away 2 semi-flat places of the gear without going all the way to the shaft. After this, I put the motor is a vice and tightened untill..crack went the pinion down one side. After this it popped right off with a piece of brass as a punch and a ball peen. I cannot be happier with the outcome and had no bad experience using the dremel to do this. Some teams that have a hard time trying to press the pinion off should look into this as a fast and easy alternative, in my opinion.
