I'm assuming you're talking about the rear counterweight. I'm also assuming you already removed the big 54mm nut holding it on.

That said, put the big nut on a few threads to keep the counterweight from going flying. Put a prybar behind the counterweight to put some pressure against it, then beat the hell out of it with a hammer. I normally use a dead blow hammer, but sometimes you gotta use a metal hammer. This will shock it loose and it will pop free. If you've been working on it for a while and it's not coming, that means you aren't hitting it hard enough.

Be real careful not to hit anything you shouldn't, like the threads on the eccentric shaft - another good reason to have the nut on there.

You'll hear the sound of the counterweight when struck change to a dull note when it finally pops free.

Or use a harmonic puller like above.

quick question when re-installing the counter weight does it have to go in a certain position? thanks

With the key, there is only one way for it to go on.
