I have had the same issue with a cart I am working on now. I talked to Dave at Revolution Golf Cart he said the ring is not available by it self. I am going to look for a old motor that I can use for parts.

Have you tried soaking them down with WD 40 or PB Blaster. That has worked for me at times.

old timers trick is to drip candle wax or paraffin into the threads and heat up the housing.
Hot wax will wick into the threads and the paraffin will lubricate

I will have to give that a try next time.

best time to do that is before the bolts are broken off.
Heat the bolts first,steel and aluminum expand/contract at different rates,thereby breaking the bond between the two
