Crank Sensor vs Interuptor Ring

[XLR8ER]

I bought a used GN engine. After a complete rebuild I have discovered the interuptor ring is slightly bent... which scraps the crank sensor.
Can this ring be removed (and replaced) from the harmonic balancer ?
If not, is there a way to straighten it out so it will not rub the crank sensor ?
Has anybody else seen this problem ?
Thanks in advance !

Interesstingly enough I could have sworn I read where you can replace this ring. I remember reading about when I was doing a search for no start.

I can't recall where I picked up but I am believe it can be done.

Careful use of a pair of pliers should do.
It's a press fit, and easy to misalign if you do take it off.

Might need to make a cardboard jig, but unless it's really wrinkled you should be able to get it close enough to work.
