servo motor disassembly

Hi All,
I have 2 Indiana General servo motors which need some machining on the
shafts. It would be an easy job if the shafts were out of the stators but I
think the magnets are rare earth. Would it be possible to push a cyndrical
ferrous metal keeper in one end of the stator and simultaneously push the
armature out the stator's other end so that the main field would still
be maintained in a magnetic circuit? It might be the same principle as using
a mandrel in a ball nut which keep the balls located in the ball circuits
when the nut is taken off the screw. If it worked for servos would it work
for steppers also?
Cheers,
Denis
