How do I remove the distributor rotor?


Recommended Posts

1990 Loyale. Changing plugs for the first time, got a new cap and rotor, but I hit a snag getting the old rotor out...seems to have a guide screw to remove and it wasn't moving and I was worried about stripping it. Is there a special tool or method I should know?

That screw is prone to loosen .... so previous owner probably used some loctite to keep it in there.    Make sure you have the proper screwdriver ... #1 , #2 etc. of good steel quality.

Sometimes helps to vocalize a primal grunt when applying maximum pressure.

good luck ... and don't strip the head.
