  Afternoon gents I’m trying to remove the field coils on the generator housing, what would be the best tool to do so? Thanks

  Try taking it to an auto electric shop that's been around for a while. They may have the special tools for this. Sometimes you can take a sharp chisel and turn the countersunk bolt by tapping the screw slot.

  How about a picture, is it a standard screw or a square countersunk? The last time I saw it done in a shop they used a V block to hold the generator on a drill press table. They put the tool into the chuck so they could hold it down firmly. I don't remember if the tool was a cut off screwdriver or a piece of square stock. I don't remember if the tool had a handle to turn or they just turned the tool with a wrench.
