Breaking down... how far to go?

I had trouble removing the second part of the motor housing - the part between the plastic drum and the motor that was made of cast. I ended up turning it in like that without getting it apart . Stupid thing I couldn't figure out how to remove the agitator.

I follow this process when trying to get thing out. I also have issues with the motors.

1: will it come out with regular tools? ( no)
2: Hit it with a regular hammer, work? ( no )
3: Get a bigger hammer, work ( no )
4: Hit with 15 pound sledge, work ( no )
5: is precision cutting needed? beak out dermal, work ( no )
6: Break out saws all ( Always works ) - Blades are expensive
