    Diamond blade for the grinder would be a good idea.

    I tried letting one of the winding hang, the stator is around 1500 lbs, but nothing. Tried going down to a few strands, and they just broke. What doozie! I even tried a bottle jack inside of the housing on one of the winding - it pulled them a little bit, but ended up snapping the wires.



    I've got about a third of it done right now, seems I found a comfortable setup where I can peel the wires away with a small and large pry bar. I'm hoping once the outer ring is done, it'll have loosened everything enough that I can try hanging and use gravity's help while prying or hammering.
