Hub Motor dismantlement...this is an Old One...I'm old too

I've been over at the Facebook Page, but I hadn't been on the Forum in years. Looks like the Endless Sphere Facebook Page is now for Sales.

My problem is this Chinese Hub Motor. I'm trying to take it apart. At one point I had spoken to Russ Barrow about this. I believe he said that I would need to remove the Allen Head Bolts, then move a few mm to unlock the Hub Motor Cover. I'm able to spin the cover, 360 degrees, with some effort. If it were threaded I would think it would have loosened up a bit.

I removed the Rubber Seal at the Axle but I do not see anything there. IF anyone has a Similar Hub Motor and could offer some insights. I'm sure you have seen this one before. I'll get the Model # but I wanted ti see if there was a Quick Fix. THANKS!

Looks like...I got it...after watching a YouTube Video

Not sure it's worth the swap. I lightly damaged my rear Hub Motor Rim and I thought about swapping the front Hub Motor Rim. The front Hub Motor had a Hall Sensor problem and I was given a complete replacement, without having to return the Broken Hub Motor.

I would have used a gear puller, using an old disc brake for leverage, but chisels work too!
