    Thanks for the break down. Next time try a sawzall to get through the brackets. Also look up Jackschmuck( i think its spelled right) in the video section here, he had a good video on how to break those apart relatively easy without powertools. You also may want to scratch the windings to see if they are copper or aluminum. Good luck.

    If you do see that video and decide to try it, I would recommend using a cold chisel and not a hatchet to break it apart. Too much of a chance for injury otherwise.
