Crystalyte 405 with unknown shaft

[culturgut]

Greetings,
Im sorry to bother you with this, but i tried to find an answer for days now.
I need to know how to deal with this kind of shaft. Can it be used on a bicycle?
Do i need a press to remove it, so i can replace it with an axle?
In which direction do i need to press it out.

Thank you for your time

I've never seen one like that.
Removing the shaft is very difficult as it's pressed into the stator. Finding the right shaft will also be very hard.

Looks like someone emulated APL's midmotor shaft design.

Check out this thread for how that is used:
