Blast room

That sounds like a very good method.

I think I'll save the motor plate for that method.

I forgot to add that sometimes a small vice grip will work to twist them out, and I also have a small pair of pliers with a curved snout that can grab a screw or rivet head. It's always worth a try but to be honest, it seldom works.
 
Ideas that can work ....... flush pliers, have to have zero bevel one side, lift and lever at the head ..... or with a foredom or dremel and a cut wheel grind a small slot. It'll either twist out with a small screw driver, or the head will break off. The later is still good, name plate is off, then just drill out the rest of the pin

I used flush end nippers. I just couldn't get a bite under the head, and the head was too hard to get the nippers to get a bite into the head itself, so I had to use my garbage beveled chisel to get them started.

after I got these first ones out I found my dremel... hopefully I'll find my cut off discs so I can get the tag off the motor.

Then I can tackle the pulley stuck on the motor. It has a slotted grub screw like it was made by barbarians.
 
So, I have been thinking that since we will have the blasting space set up, maybe I should explore my options for my spare 2J head housing parts.

I first thought a polished finish would look good, but I think a bead blasted housing could look good too. The polished finish will show every finger print, but the bead blasted can build up grime in the surface.

At the very least I'll clean these all up as best I can
