Clamp the dist w padding securely in your vise vertical & take your long thin needle nose pliers and stick it in there in between the 2 vertical legs and spread them apart. You wont be able to spread them more than a very slight bit but that will be enough. Do it several times. Then grab one of the vertical legs w your pliers and whip it AROUND to it's open side (eyeball to see which way to go) & UP in the same motion. Note which hole the roll pin is in for reassembly. A good idea is to press the center shaft down lightly w your thumb as a helper levers the reluctor up w a pair of screwdrivers opposite of each other and after you get it up some then switch to a pair of tire irons and continue to lever it up (EVENLY). I wash everything w solvent/blow it dry & lube the parts that need to be lubed w silicone lube and the spray on dry lube may be even better. Drive out the roll pin on the bottom shaft/take off the collar and add flat washers until the end play is ALMOST zero. When your back together take the clip and straighten the 2 legs and the circular base as it will be slightly deformed and drop it in on top of the nub and w a pair of mini screwdrivers opposite each other push the circular wire base down over the nub then use your needle nose's to compress the 2 legs together. Same as before you wont move it much but it'll be enough to get at least some of the base circle under the nub which is good enough to secure it. I like to set the reluctor on the shaft barely w your initial set on the balancer and see if using the other (roll pin) will give me better phasing and note that only the vac adv will change the phasing in use (moves it CW on a BB and CCW on a SB). Caveat, always press down on the center shaft anytime you are pulling the reluctor up as some dizzys have enough tolerance that the weights will come off of the pins before you have it apart and you dont want to deal w that.
