Hi all,
In the process of stripping down my silver century plus but the only problem is the wipac plate is seized on. I have removed the locating screw with no luck. Then I removed the points and coil. and heated the base with still no luck.
Any ideas?

Rotate the base plate backwards & forwards like a steering wheel, little by little, till it moves freely, then it will come off, it's aluminium oxide holding it fast.
Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot.

Heat and soak with wd40. Eventually the corrosion will break free enough for you to rotate the baseplate.
I did say it might be stuck pretty good. A lot of the time they can be a right sod
Keep going with it but don't go too heavy handed with the heat.

you lot have got it ALL wrong....
Just get a BIGGER hammer and give it a good wack, once it is broken it will be easy to get off! That's how most people seem to work on Seagulls!!
