Teena, it's a featherweight motor, right? There is a metal thing around the middle that needs to be removed. Held in by lugs that need to be bent, from memory.
EDIT: I sit, corrected. You don't have to remove the metal things.

EDIT 2: I took frudemoo's 222 motor apart last week and it was pretty easy: There's probably a bit of rust holding it together.
