Can't say how hard but a file does not skate off. You don't get to mark it just so but slow and easy will do it. A sharp file and patience will surely get me there.

Yes, that would not be an issue. A properly drilled/tapped hole in the pulley is. That's what I am concerned with, not mucking up an OEM U3 motor pulley.
The shaft could be marked with blue and pair of parallel lines traced with the tips of a caliper, like this:
Holding the motor's rotor in a jig/vice to use the scribed lines as a guide to get a proper the flat done may do the trick.? Provided the lines are parallel, both to themselves and the motor's axis.
