Replacing Rotor


Recommended Posts

I'm replacing my cap and rotor and the rotor doesn't want to budge. I haven't been too forceful with it just yet, but I'm getting ticked off and am close to that point.

Does anyone have any tricks to "helping it along"?

Thanks,

Mike

You may need to split it - I use a grinder with a cut-off wheel, but a number of tools may work for you. Slice one side to allow it to expand, and it will come off.

Break it off...I've always been able to pry them off with a screwdriver.

Wrap a towel or something around the shaft to cover the distributor base if you decide to go with a dremel tool. Keeps dust ect. out of there. You don't want that stuff down there where the trigger (sensor) is.

edit; moisten the shaft with oil before installing new one.
