pair on long nose pliers in between motor body and gear, and lever it off. thats how i do it.

First of all close the chuck. I found this was a necessity as without doing it they just turned endlessly and didnt come off.

Then get a spanner on it. There is a flat part on the underside of the chuck between the drill and the chuck (Do it before you dismantle the drill itself).

Then with spanner in place hit it with a hammer. this makes it loose enough to get off by hand.

Be aware that the spanner is likely to fly across the room if it comes loose but it normally doesnt.

I think Alex means the actual pinion gear on the motor shaft. I would heat the pinion up as well as using Adrians method, but heating will require less force to get it off.

[grant_ploughbot]

or clamp the gear in a vice and tap the motor shaft through with a punch.

having some more problems with drill motors cant get the blue wheel off

any tips?

[woody]

Assuming that you have removed the lefthand screw.
Drive the bot around in the required direction to undo the wheel... hard acceleration in the required direction .
Or place a booted foot on top of the wheel and attempt to drive the bot ... making sure that your attempting to undo the motor from the wheel.

You can do a similar thing with the motor assembly in a vice ...gripping the wheel ... and applying power to the motor...take care ...use gloves etc.
