yes of course
having had a quick google, get the longest bolt possible and slide hammer it free
http://www.google.co...29,r:1,s:0,i:71
comes with a word of caution,
when using this method, take precautions to not let the armature hit the deck when it comes free
although the yamahaenduro website isnt available...google showed this much
"I had to make an armature puller. The threads ... So I turned it into a slide hammer. ... 173- 81153-10-00 is supposed to be for the AT1/AT2, CS5 and the CS3."
I think the guy was saying that using the bolt was massing the threads up, so he used it as a slide hammer
