Good question, I never had mine down that far when I replaced the coils and did some point and condenser stuff. I did that work with the stator plate still on.

I’d say take the key out first. For removing the key, grab it with a pair of side-cutters and pry it out of its slot. You may need to file any nicks down that are raised on the sides of the key by the side-cutters. For the magnet part, somebody else will have to help you with that if you don’t have access to a manual.
