I remove the windings off of the motors inside compressors from refrigerators easily because they do not have the heavy varnish coating, but have found the AC units to be difficult.
Yes compressors from Ac units. I cut one end of the wire off with a sawzall then flip it over and run my grinder over the strings. The trick to getting the wire out is a pair of these babies! http://www.harborfreight.com/hand-to...per-38496.html
I start with just one set of wires after you pull the first set out the rest get easier as you go. A large vise makes it easy also.
