If memory serves, the magneto has 3 circular plates with the stacked magnetic plates sandwhiched in between. I think I got mine off by hooking onto a combination of these plates. That said, I bought a small gear puller which ended up not working because as it tightened, the arms hit the top of the magneto and forced the hooks out and off of the part I had grabbed. I ended up using a puller that was substantially larger than I expected to take a bite.

I will also add the small note that, while hammering is probably required, be careful. It is never good to smack around a magnet.
