Did you remove the springs and weights? When these parts are in the condition that yours are in they do not just slide apart? They are stuck together with years off dirt and crud and moisture that has heated up and cooled down a billion times and they just take some finessing to get apart. If you have the two small advance springs and weights off, then the reluctor should come off the top of the shaft, leaving just the shaft and limiter base. Maybe spray some WD40 or PB Blaster down in there to soak a bit and loosen it up will help.
Here's a couple pics of the one I am currently working on. In fact I have a thread started on it but have not gotten the shaft bushings and all the parts yet so it hasn't gotten very far
Hope this helps

Steve, how did you get the aluminum to look like that? I cleaned mine and wire wheeled but it shines. I'd rather have the dull appearance.

PS partly because I am still considering having them machined for me, which may or may not be a good idea

I have not even gotten around to ordering the bushings yet. I am absolutely not a part number or resource guy hahaha sorry. Jeffafafa provided me with some numbers and resources in another thread one day, and I will have to go back and search my own comments and threads to even find them.

Yes correct. BUT...Only because I work in maintenance, in a factory, that has a machine shop with an abundance of different types of materials, with world class toolmakers and my cousin is one of them LOL. I'm spoiled in that aspect. Other than they are cracking down on "government" (personal) work these days and you can't get by with some of the shenannigans we use to. Oh, the stuff we've hauled into work to work on. Helps if you're on an off shift though
