Use a pair of pliers that can fit around the shaft without clamping on the shaft when closed and get someone to hold the pliers and the motor in there hands to absorb the punch,use a long 3mm cap head screw as this is slightly smaller than the 1/8th rotor shaft and slowly with the use of a hammer knock the shaft through the pinion,it will work,be carefull not to drop the motor and watch your fingers.

Pinion now off and motor is good to use again

Thanks
