Help please - how do you remove the ignition trigger rotor (gold rotor in pic) ?

I can't find mention of how to do it in the workshop manual and mine seems to be fixed solid.

I have removed the retaining bold and tried to gently lever and tap it but it seems to be locked solid.

I don't want to damage it by using too much force so I'd thought I'd ask on here first before getting the lump hammer out :o

Thanks !!

It should pull straight off. It may be being retained by the keyway.

Yes I also thought it would pull off easily but it is solid. I noticed that the securing bolt thread was loctited so I'm wondering if the loctite has bled and glued it into place - I think I will try some heat on the face of the rotor and try and melt the loctite as the next step.
Thanks
Mike.

Ok sorted now - confusingly the rotor has a metric thread (M6) in the middle so it's an easy job to tighten a M6 bolt in against the camshaft and off it comes...
I assume that Buell sourced the ignition components from somewhere in far-east hence the metric thread...
