I Just tried to remove my rotor arm and it is stuck good onto the dizzy. I didn't want to use too much force to remove it because I am afraid of damaging something, any advice on removal?

Thanks All

Break off in pieces - do not pull on dist shaft!

apply light coat of lube or dielectric grease on shaft before putting new rotor on.

Hi Bill:

UPS hasn't picked up your tires yet, maybe tommorrow. What can I use to break it up with? John Robison on Roversnorth BBS said to use a sharp chisel and whack it in the middle to break it. I am really leary of whacking it with a chisel.

Thanks

Alan

Score the sides carfully with a Dremel tool if you have one, be sure to cover up the base to prevent dust and crud falling in there

Or you can also melt the sides with a solder pen
and then twist it off.

Wack on a Dist shaft with a hammer and cold chisel, Ok thats a good one if your planning on replacing the Dist
