all you do is.. take off the 4 bolts holding the distributor cap ( the black thing) then theres your rotor, its one bolt holding the rotor on, just unscrew the screw and replace, thats it.

You can put your car in neutral and using the correct size socket, you can spin the motor at the crank pulley until you see it. The easiest way is to put the car in neutral and have someone turn the key real quick, just enough to spin the motor without it firing up. Do that enough times and eventually you'll get the rotor turned over to the side with the screw. Hope that helps

either turn the key real quick and look to see if it's on top, it may take a few tries. or turn the crank with a 17mm (i think) socket

the cap will be off so dont worry about it firing, just turn it on and off until you see the screw this uses the starter motor to turn over the engine
