Don't know, but I'd guess the diagram shows a female spline end and the gear on your motor is just the visible end of an adapter stub shaft (with a male spline end) held in place by a roll pin (or perhaps by #6 retaining ring in the diagram. Don't see how you'll get that end apart with out prying the oil seal out of the way so you can remove #2 retaining ring.

The spot-welded nut and bolt is welded in 2 places - opposite sides of the nut/bolt. I'll take another whack at trying to get that off. the hardest part is that in trying to turn the bolt/nut is that the entire shaft turns and it's hard to brace it. i will start with a chisel and filing down those welds.

Starting with chisel and filing is likely a huge waste of time. The nut/bolt is probably a mechanic's ad hoc field fix to replace a bolt that had an oversize head - the nut is probably just acting like a large washer. Honestly, a 1/2 pneumatic impact will almost certainly spin the bolt/nut comb loose with out a problem and no need to brace the shaft - the inertial mass of the armature will let the pneumatic impact do it's job.
In any case, good luck. Let us know how it goes.
