[AJD] Mag Removal question

[Dean VP]

LeRoy:

If you have the slots of the governor truly horizontal, then when you mount
the magneto it will be right at the fire point. By rotating the mag slowly
to the fire point and locking it down you will have the magneto timing set
exactly right. This is the procedure described in the manuals.

However, you can get the magneto off by 180 degrees if you are not careful.
There is a way to get the magneto in the right position as well and this
procedure is also described in the manual. Worst case if you get the magneto
off by 180 degrees you can swap the two plug wires but I like to get it
installed correctly.

Prior to taking off the mag I set the LH Impulse mark to met the marking on
the side (used the finger test).  I got the mag off and it tripped as I
pulled it.  When you put this back on the manual says that there is a lug
wrench that is fitted over the lugs.  I'm guessing that this will keep it in
place after it fires.  True?  The idea is to keep the lugs horizonal.  Now
if I don't have a lug wrench can I just move these back to horizonal?  I
know when I tried it the mechanism latched and was readyo to fire.
