Rotovator Magneto

Remove the flywheel first... there’s a good chance you won’t need new points.
Undo the flywheel nut, but don’t remove it. With a couple of wedges under the flywheel against the solid engine block, a sharp tap with a jammer on the flywheel nut should break it free from the tapered crankshaft.

Good - I will give that a go tomorrow and report back.

So, it was wedged on tight as anything, and I managed to snap of one of the magneto mounting points - so off to recycling it is. Thanks for the help though.
