Paul,  this rear counterweight does not appear in Haynes or on Bruce's

video.  I assume it was added when the manual flywheel was removed.
Is
that standard practice?   Do I use a puller to remove it?    I am the
third owner of this engine since it was dedicated for aircraft use.  I
believe the first owner rebuilt it.  This is my first time inside this
or any rotary.  Thus far it has been good news.  New oil pump and
chain
and all new bolts and is  immaculately clean except for surface
discoloration on the counterweights.   Jerry

Smack it with a hammer and it will pop right off the taper. I see you
got
the hard part done. The big nut is off:)

I recall that I took my engine over to Hayes rotary and Dennis beat on it with a hammer a bit and it just popped off. It seemed a bit ham-fisted, but Dennis has probably taken apart more rotarys than anyone else in the world.
