The roll pin simply locates the reluctor on the shaft (ie positions it for correct timing), the reluctor itself is actually a light press-fit to the shaft. Unfortunately with time and a bit of corrosion it can become a bit hard to budge. Try using something like WD40 (only a small amount) and then levering gently with a couple of screwdrivers on either side of the reluctor. Best to hold the body in a vice (prefereably with soft jaw inserts).

I've pulled a few L24E/L28E dizzies apart over the years. They have a design weakness in the vac advance support plate mechanism which has ball bearings retained by a plastic cage to allow movement of the stator by the vac can Unfortunately the plastic cage falls apart with heat/age and the mechanism wanders all over the place giving erratic timing.
