I am in the process of replacing my Boyer Bransden ignition with a Tri spark but am unable to remove the old Boyer rotor, should this just slide off or do I need some kind of extractor? Any suggestions for removing it without damaging it (in case I want to reinstall)?

My Triumph type pin extractor was to short and couldn't find the slide hammer tool so ended up using one of the bolts from a sprocket puller.
With a large washer under the head of the bolt the 36mm double ended socket for the Ducati's SSSA nut worked a treat as a slide hammer.
Is someone able to confirm that the correct extractor bolt to use for the Boyer Bransden is 5/16 BSF. I made the rather stupid mistake of trying to use the bolt supplied with the Tri-spark until I realised too late that this is metric and I have slightly damaged the threads.
Thanks to all who replied. It was a UNF thread, I found a bolt and worked it in and it just popped off. Now all I have to do is explain to a mate who was making a BSF threaded slide hammer for me why I gave him the wrong info re threads and that I don't need it anyway!
