VLB1T 12V Stator

Flywheel is a bit damaged obviously someone tried to take it off in the past without the flywheel tool





I neglected to buy the flywheel holder but do have the removal too .. the block of wood was the quick solution and it worked well .. lots of old dirt and grease took a while to loosen it up enough to get the flywheel tool in 



here is the Stator .. again some home wiring with masking tape in behind so Ill have to clean this up as well .. but overall looks like everything is in decent shape .. a little clean up hopefully .. i am still considering a replacement kit

Thank you Vespa books for making note to mark the stator position before removing it :) -- done !!
