FMS 800mm Spitfire motor shaft removal

[Bill]

I have bent my motor shaft with a nose in landing (I guess "crash" would be more truthful).
The motor appears ok. There are 2 grub screws at the base of the motor shaft which appear to be there to hold the shaft to the motor. However, after releasing the grub screws, the shaft will not budge. There is no spare part motor shaft, just the whole motor with the shaft attached.
Anyone with any tips on: 1. How to remove the motor shaft. 2. How to bend the shaft back to straight.
Thanks

[Tom]

We "may" have some spare shafts in our warehouse. I recall talking to FMS about making this a spare part but I don't recall what we ever decided. There is a 50/50 chance we have them. However, removal and installation is not easy. The shaft is press fit and you likely will not have the ability to remove it without the proper tools.

Thanks Tom. I do not think I can remove the shaft anyway. I think I have
ruined the motor with my wire pliers in a crude attempt to remove the
shaft. I do appreciate your response and concern. That is first rate
service.
