Removing housing for Hanning motor

[Yacanik]

I have a Hanning 1.5 HP variable speed motor. I am trying to change the bearings on. I managed to get all the bolts off including the weird strut bolts. The housing still does not wanna come out easily. I do not want to break a safety pin or washer by using too much force.
Is there a mechanism that locks the bearing on these like on some newer century motors? There is a hole on the bottom. I wonder if it is designed to slide in a screwdriver. Any help would be appreciated. TY

Good morning and welcome to TFP! I've not heard of that model before. Let's shoot up a signal to @1poolman1 to see if he's come across that model in the field. Stand by......

Not sure what pump that is. Looks like a motor used on a Hayward Max-Flo VSP pump. Have never taken one completely apart, but I know the fan must be removed to get any further in the process. That's what stopped me and I was just curious about the process as the motor was completely un-salvageable, so I went no further and recycled the motor. Tapping on the front end bell with a rubber mallet may force the fan off the shaft and allow the motor to separate. That's TAPPING, not hammering.

TY for the follow ups. Looks like snyderman3000 has it figured out in 2018 but seems inactive for a while.
