5665 k301 Flywheel Pull

Finally got around to pulling the flywheel on the 5665 today. It did not go easy. Attached are a few photos of what I found. All but one magnet is stuck to the stator...odd but this is the first time looking behind a k301 flywheel..shouldnt the magnets be glued to the inside of the flywheel?

I'd be interested in any assessments and recommendations for how to proceed.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, they should not be like that. That impairs the functioning of the charging system. Google "gluing magnets to flywheel" for a variety of suggestions on doing that if you don't want to spring for a replacement flywheel...

And if that oil isn't from penetrating fluid to get the flywheel off, you might consider replacing the crankshaft seal.

You can get nylon washers in a variety of sizes (at least, there's a bunch of different sizes at my local home depot)...
