Hi. I want to get the top of this off. Took the circlip off but it still won’t come. Don’t want to smack it in case there is a better way but if smack it is the answer then let me know.

Looking at the exploded diagram the section under the dust cap doesn't look like its held down with anything once the locking ring is removed. Possibly gear puller under the cutouts or a couple screw drivers under the cutouts and gently lever out.

I haven't done this before so take with a pince of salt   O_ohttps://workshop-manuals.com/volkswagen/golf-mk1/power_unit/k-jetronic/ignition_system/ignition_system_glow_plug_system/servicing_ignition_system/dismantling_and_assembling_distributor_%28engine_code_eg_08.79__dx_jh_jj_kt%29/

I imagine once that light corrosion has broken the seal it'll pull off by hand.
Give it a spray of some sort of lube first
