MAGNETIC PLATE EXTRACTOR

Function and technical context

The magnetic plate remover is an essential specialized tool for disassembly work on the ignition system of outboard and inboard engines. Its specific function is to safely separate the magnetic flywheel (magnet rotor) from the crankshaft cone without damaging either the plate or the shaft, avoiding impacts or levers that could deform critical ignition components. This type of extractor works directly on the magneto ignition system, where the magnetic plate generates the current that powers the CDI and the ignition coils. Using the correct tool in this procedure is decisive: improper disassembly can cause deterioration of the crankshaft cone, damage to the rotor or loss of ignition advance adjustment, leading to starting failures, loss of power or serious breakdowns in the ignition train.

When to use or replace this tool?

The magnetic plate extractor reference 90890-06820 must be used whenever the magnetic flywheel is dismantled to access the ignition components, such as pick-up coils, crankshaft seals or the stator itself. If the tool has worn threads, a cracked body or a central screw with excessive play, it must be replaced before use, as an extractor in poor condition can slip during the process and cause irreversible damage to the motor. It is recommended to inspect its condition every maintenance season and replace it preventively if there is any sign of wear: having the appropriate tool in perfect condition avoids emergency interventions and costly repairs in the workshop.
