For the cast iron housing hit it with a sledge hammer or maul with glasses on. I do that to all my electric motors from 1/2hp to 50hp and above. Some are real brittle and some take a few hits to develop a crack to split. Just don't hit the stator directly obviously.
I tried that with the big splitting maul. It just bounced off. I have a bigger plasma which was able to get through it. I actually filmed this 2 and a half years ago but just now got around to uploading it. I put the wood splitter back into wood splitting duty for the time being as I accidentally started a tree service and no longer have much time for scrap metal. Although scrap metal is in my blood and will never go away. A few weeks ago I just cut up a couple smaller sealed units I ripped out of various appliances then went dumpster diving. In the middle of all that my appendix failed so now I’m laid up for a bit. So I’ve been making what ever videos I can.
I use a pair of Harbor Freight end nips with the ends bent over two chains for my puller. I've seen someone use a 3 ton auto body scissor clamp also. You are kind of limited on stroke length/room on your log splitter. It would almost be better if you bolted a extended stator holder to the bottom 1" plate on your splitter and pulled from the same chain location. Then you could unbolt it and use it for wood on the ground again or still use it in the horizontal position.

Thanks for making the video I also like the one you made before this video Where you were building the log sweater.Thanks, that's very helpful
your welcome. I have since placed the log splitter back on log splitting duty but it did work for quite awhile pulling copper

I wanted to make a jaw puller for it. just never got around to it yet.
