Sometimes they do seem a little tight. Have you tried also removing the stator screws and [*]very lightly[*] pulling on that?
If you tap the outside of the rotor it could easily break the magnets and loosen the outer plate from its centre. Seen it done (or the result anyway) :shock: If that happens then replacement is the only option and I believe a firm in Italy sells them. Firm is called Nuovaray.
All donations to the rest home for old Camels, Leicestershire.

Which type of pickup rotor? The later ones (Red 2 and Black pickup unit) can sometimes be assisted out using a very small allen key hooked in to gap in the rotor and j-j-jiggled.
