I made up a set of tools like what I use, that makes the rewinding process go a little easier.

A holder for the case, that allows the stator to be pushed out, and a ram. It's cut to fit inside of a 1 ton arbor press (harbor freight) but you could set it atop some vice jaws or a couple of 2x4s. But the press works so easy and you'll use it for all kinds of other things.

Then we have some parts that go into the rotor hole. These are made with a 1mm wide lip that sits atop the ends of the stator, and that keeps the strands of little wire from getting over into and blocking the rotor hole, where the rotor might later rub them and short the windings out, and make SMOKE! They also make the inner form for the pressing tools that you'll use later.
