Hi There, you need a strap wrench or piston stop (a threaded bar that screws into the spark plug hole and locks the motor up) to undo the mag nut and then an extractor which screws into the big thread(27mm) on the mag to pull it off (note this is a l/h thread) and has a code of P134 (ebay will prob have one on there). Then the mag will be off. But before you take the mag off it may be worth checking the ignition timming (1.8mm BTDC) and cleaning the points. If the arcing at the points is real bad you will have a condenser out of spec, this can be checked when you have the mag off. But first off checking the timing & clean the points off.
