You need a Stihl puller. About $10 on ebay. If you try to pull that flywheel, you are likely to break it. Use the puller.

If memory serves, it is just a brute force and ignorance type of thing. The condensor will be destroyed by the operation. I think I just grabbed it with pliers and pulled.

Clean the points while your inside always a good app on those 031AV saws. Let us know if you have spark after you put it back together check the kill switch wire for exposed wire. Rare that a coil goes south on those saws I put a new condenser in them at my shop and they fire right up...Good luck

031
I have used an eletronic chip on a 031 by mounting it in the air box and running a ground wire to it

Nope, there wasn't a puller for the condensers. Just clamp a vicegrip on the top of it and wiggle it out. However, there was a tool to instal a new one. It was like a socket, sort of, and it was the correct length so the condenser was set at the correct depth.
You have to measure the depth that the original one was set, and then use an appropriately sized socket on the new condenser to drive it home. It is an intereference fit yes, but it isn't difficult to tap into the stator plate. There isn't much force involved.

Is that all you have to do is buy a ignition module and mount it on the saw to change it over to electronic?
