I would love to fire it up and burn all that out, but we currently have a fire ban :/ I still like the idea of using gravity, so I think i'll fab up a locking plate with a couple of bolts to clamp onto one end of the loop and pull it up with the crane. I think a straight pull, like mentioned, would be the only option since the wires keep breaking as soon as there's a pull on any angle.
I definitely need to come at it from a different angle - all the other components are stripped and I put the new video up today, am hoping I can have that large stator stripped before the weekend.
