Some of these gears are "Locktited" on. I made a special collar to hang the gear, and a cradle with padding to catch the motor gently.
Heat the worm and the motor drops out.
MTH is that way. Not totally sure of the K-Line, but I two-railed one with a Pittman 8000 series motor (in the firebox where God intended motors to be) and stitched up the belly. It was stunning, but seemed too small to me.

Bob, how much heat does it take? I’ve tried the heat treatment on several Mubachi’s with the worm gear on the shaft, seems like I still had to use a puller...but I’ll try your trick, I have some dead motors from MTH and Lionel ...unfortunately I don’t have any Kline’s....so I have no idea what kind of fight I’m up against....looks like I might be testing the strength of the Great Planes pinion puller....🤤.........Pat
