Hi Alan,
	You should be able to remove the end covers by dropping the 
grinder sharply onto a lump of wood vertically. This should release 
the flanges from the stator,and the bearing from it's housing. it's a 
good idea to mark the position of the end covers before you do this. 
The convention is two centre punch marks on the drive end ,and 
one on the non drive end. Of course this goes out the window when 
you have something with "things" on both ends.Try dropping it from 
about 18". 

good luck with the grinding. Maybe worth paying a machine shop 
to do it as the motor is so cheap.
