I have always used grinder and air chisel to pop windings. Now i have my car trailer, I use the winch and a chain to secure the stator. I even used the winch one day to rip a stainless steel shell of the metal frame to clean it. And I use the winch to pull the windigns with a hook I bent with a torch and some scrap. You can look on utube. A man built a hydraulic ram with a hook. One ram vertical holds stator still while the other ram pulls the copper. Almost like using a hydraulic press. He even used the vertical ram to essentially break the motor in half, so no cutting the shell or anything. Sadly I dont cut motors much anymore, as it is not worth it to me. Turn as in. Been too preoccupied selling resale parts than tearing apart motors. Although I miss it. Was quite enjoyable and relaxing. Sadly sealed units are 7c and now they have several grade of motors so price ranges from 7c to 10c. But dont have time. Rather rip apart a furnace and sell 400 in parts in a few hours, then make 10 bucks a hour cutting motors. Now if it wa sstill 20 a hour like years ago, then by all means, sure thing.
