Hi
Have you got it off the car yet.

If you mean how do you literally take it apart, I found this very difficult and ended up buying a new one. The rotor arms that come attached to the new dizzy's often need crunching up with some pliers as they are glued on solid.

No it needs to be taken apart, i have a part from inside one distributor that needs transferring to another and yes they are both off of the car

Hi
Any chance of a photo.
Apparently the vw rotor arms are glued on, so you literally smash the rotor to put a new rotor arm on.

There is a small pin that holds the drive on (the bit that sits on the cam).  Punch that out and the shaft will pull out.  You can also replace the Seals as well.
