Probably just a residue of old, crusty oil holding it in the socket. Be gentle but use some force, should come right out. If you want to avoid having to reestablish the timing (which is still easy but a bit complicated with the NorthEast dual coil, dual point and dual-ended rotor), take careful note of the position of the shaft head before you remove it. As I said, the slot is just SLIGHTLY off-center. It can install in 4 positions but it will make life easier if you reinstall the same as it came out.

Just curious, why are you removing it?
