ive read posts where they’ve had to remove the fan and then use a pry bar to lever the dizzy out.
What makes it hard to remove is the rubber seal that is on the shaft, spraying wd40 will work it’s way down to the seal and help release it.

…..after spraying with WD-40, keep this angle under the dizzy and carefully beat it up - good success, perfect is a slide hammer ! _________________ Grüsse, Diddi

WD40 can make rubber seals a bit more grippy(and swell), Silicone lube works best when rubber and metal parts need to slide around.

thought id be clever over the weekend and lift the car up, put it in gear, then turn the wheels to get the engine to the timing marks so I can remove the distributor. turns out I don't understand very well how differentials work ! (turning one wheel spins the other in the opposite direction and trying to turn both simultaneously was beyond the strength of me and my helper). no way could I get the engine turning in this situation.
presume you guys who have removed the dizz have managed by putting in gear and rolling the car back and forth (while on the ground) ? _________________ 1996 C2 manual

....... take 3rd gear and rolling the 11er b&f - or turn the fan wheel - put on gloves !!! _________________ Grüsse, Diddi

Turn the engine over by turning the crankshaft pulley (clockwise) use a socket and breaker bar, or off set ring spanner, in neutral and handbrake off !
