Isn't your motor mounted on a flat metal 
plate that then screws to the keyboard base? 

I just packed up an FPRK for shipping, so I 
can't look at it any more, but my experience 
has been that most Teletype motors are mounted 
on a flat plate, and the wired go to a block with 
round flat terminals that then contact springy 
contacts on the base.  



Notice upper left corner ...   Motor Plate  ... 

Remove the screws that hold that plate to the base and you 
should be able to swing the plate out on a pivot screw 
(shown vertically under the gear in the above pix, but not 
labelled or identified) ... remove the pivot screw and the 
whole motor assembly can walk away from the base. 

The diagram is from page  3-2 of Bulletin 1082B.
