    What's the best way of getting it off on a pug speedfight 2 LC magneto bell housing off?

    Thanks

    Got a photo of the bell. I would have said buzetti universal extractor but knowing Peugeot it could well be different......

    ^what he said
    and don't try forcing it off with a screwdriver either, you'll bust the casing!

    No hitting it with hammers either, you'll risk breaking the Woodruff key on the shaft and it's slot (or even bending the shaft) and if that happens, you'll never get it to stay on properly ever again. You have been warned.

    1. Have you removed the nut in the middle of the bell (sorry, I have to ask)?

    2. Have you tried screwing the outer part in left hand threaded (I think it's a left hand thread) before you screw in the bolt (right hand thread) and tighten the bolt, to force the bell off the crankshaft?

    Have you tried screwing the 'nut thing' in anti-clockwise, as well as clockwise?

    Try screwing it in slowly and feel for a 'step' as the thread ends click over one another. That is the exact point at which the threads should start to engage one another. They have to be at that point or nothing happens. Take your time and find the thread bite point and it should screw on.

    Can you take a phone picture of your magneto and the new tool that you bought and post it here, just in case they sent the wrong one?
