the timer comes straight up … do not force it. Apply snake oil of your choice and a little heat. I recall that there is a tensioning screw with a friction plug ,, look for that and loosen. You are not showing the “dog bone” shaped link that goes from the eccentric under side of the flywheel and the pin on the AK timer? do you have it? Some of these were die cast metal and did not survive.

You may not be able to get to the tensioning screw Joe mentions. Using a torch, or heat gun on the 1500 watt setting, put some heat at the arrow. This will expand the aluminum. At the same time try moving the timer back and forth to free it. Wiggel it off before it cools down. Might need gloves.
A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.

Success… also I see in your last photo that you do have the “dog bone” link. Just a note about that link, there is a small oil hole through the arm, helps move a tiny amount of oil from the crankshaft area to the timer. be sure that the hole is clean.
