You may want to say hello in the new members section. People tend to be more supportive when that happens.
If you post the first part of your VIN number we can probably tell you if it is a YA6.
The armature is still solidly on the crank at the moment. I have tried heat, freeze, penetrating fluid, had a remover made, blind puller, brute strength and an angle grinder but it is still hanging on. I have put it to one side at the moment but I have 3 things still to try at the moment. These are; tapping out the centre armature bore and trying a larger remover; welding a nut onto the armature bore and tightening up a bolt the same way as a puller would work and ; cutting 3 grooves into the side of the armature, fitting a 3 legged hub puller which will be clamped to keep the legs in the grooves and then tightening this up.
I hope this helps.
