Barricade motors are simply pressure fitted into their flywheel cage. Use an old finishing nail, or a 16th inch nail punch to pop those motors out by repeatedly tapping against the collar on either side of the motor shaft. I won't lie to you, it takes some finesse, some ingenuity, and some patience. But eventually they will slide out if you tap on them just right. Think of it as a challenge 😉

The bigger question is, why do you want to salvage those old Barricade motors ? In their day they were considered "more powerful" than regular 130 motors. Right or wrong, that might have been the case at one point. But today, there are inexpensive replacement motors like the Honey Badger that put those old Barricade motors to shame. I'm not kidding, we're talking finger paint versus Picasso - Datsun versus Daytona - or umm, whatever dichotomy you can come up with.

Look, I'm totally onboard with the reduce-recycle-reuse community. But Barricade motors are passé at this point. Just throw them out. Invest seven bucks in some good motors. Make your life happy. The landfills ... they can deal with it.

Pew, pew, pew !
