For my 123 (vaguely similar) I supported the squirrel cage (the 123 has only one) on two wooden blocks with the motor hanging down, then gently tapped the shaft with a hammer and pin punch. I had a box lined with shop rags under the motor, ready to catch and it went fine.
A puller will also work; the key is to have plenty of support under that plastic squirrel cage and to be patient and gentle. The plastic may be brittle after so many years. Remember to measure or photograph the blower before dis-assembly so you get the fans on the new motor same as they were on the old motor.
