    Default Changing out Distributor Rotor

    The distributor is laying on my bed and I have been trying forever to pull off the damn rotor and it just won't come off. Any tips? The screw is out and i've been tugging at it for awhile now

    Tried prying the shit out of it. I finally said it fuck it and broke the top of the rotor so I could get a better grip on it, and it STILL won't come out

    What kind of car is this for? Maybe try some penetrating oil to help get it loose. Wd-40 or PB Blaster. If worse comes to worse you can crush it and break it off with vise grips.

    I wanted to try WD-40 but I didn't know if it was ok to get any on the distributor....

    BTW it's already crushed
