We did the same (with the plate). It was a 1/8" steel plate with a slot cut in it for the motor to slide into. Then we used a hardened nail (don't ask, I have no clue where it came from) and ground it down until it was small enough to touch only the shaft. Then we used an arbor press to press the pinion off.
With that being said, I will join the others who used a nutsplitter - they're wonderful.
