Safe Way to Replace Ignition Rotor

I replaced the ignition rotor on my friends car and had to bump the starter to get access to the screw to replace the ignition rotor. After replacement the car did not start. I had to install a new coil. Any tips on how this could have been
prevented.

Thank you

I don't see how changing the rotor could have broken the coil, maybe it just went bad?

That's fine... My screw wasn't lined up when I replaced my rotor, and my friend and I just turn the motor over a couple of times till it was lined up... Everything went fine...

A better way is to just rotate the engine via the crankshaft pulley bolt.
