I'm in the process of pulling the stator (to ship to Rick's) and replacing the rotor with the EBR unit. Have any of you all had trouble separating the sprag clutch from the rotor? I got all 6 bolts removed, but the sprag clutch will not come off the back of the rotor. The service manual makes it sound like it should just fall off the back. I tried a slight encouragement with a rubber mallet around the edges of the rotor but no dice. Hoping you all have some experiential insight.
 
For posterity, the solution was to thread a longer M8 bolt into the hole the bolts holding the sprag housing to the rotor go into and tapping lightly with a hammer.
