Ended up working out what had happened in a number of stages:
1) How to remove the flywheel and magnet bit:
- There's 6 holes in the fly wheel, all with threads.
- There's 3 holes with threads in big magnet bit of the stator, and 3 without.
So, using the three unthreaded holes I was able get a puller onto the flywheel and after keeping it in tension for a couple of days and and applying some inox a sharp tap to the centre of puller had it off.
That means I could get to the back of the threads and drill them out more easily... More accurately, a mate drilled them out for me; one came out on the end of the drill (pushed through) whilst the other needed a bit more work and an Ezy-Out to pull it out.
2) Why had 2 bolts stuck in?
Well, they'd been run through both threads, so they were forced slightly apart and put under a decent amount of load. When you look on the parts list, there's only 3 bolts used not 6, so that's how it's going back together.
Oneway clutch on the other hand - absolutely rooted. About 7 bearings had broken up, so that definitely needs to be replaced. The good news is we can put it back together on the bench and then refit in one piece in the same way it came off.
