Thank you so much! I will grab my Pittman arm – in the meantime, I went and got 1/8″ piece of steel and was planning to fabricate something similar but not as elegant. I used Microsoft Copilot (ai) and it said that the rotor comes off with the key in place and that the key will pop out after you lift the rotor. I also read that because I removed the magneto stator plate, I’ve now somewhat demagnetized the rotor and will have to recharge it with the stator plate connecting to it before I put it back on the crankshaft.
Fascinating stuff
