I read a post on D-web that said you could pull it off but not pull to hard, cause you would damage your distributor. How am I suppose to get it off without breaking anything   Paul T.

Strike screwdriver with BFW, the rotor arm breaks into little pieces. The only risk you run with this method is small pieces falling into the distributor-you might want to have the shop-vac handy. It sounds pretty crazy, but it is the accepted way to remove a stuck rotor. Smear some grease in there when you reinstall and it won't be a problem in the future.

Rebuilt dizzy - $450+.   Phillip Perkinson (Rover4x4) Senior Member Username: Rover4x4 Post Number: 259 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Wednesday, June 11, 2003 - 09:01 pm:    thanks I will try tomorrow.
