Default how to replace the cap and rotor?

Just in time for my 93 Accord SE tune up. However, when I took off the cap, there's no screw on the rotor, yes I did look and compare with the new one I bought, so my question is how do I take the rotor off from the distributor? Any trick? I remember on my 89 crx si, there's a lillte screw to hold the rotor, all I need to do is unscrew it. Please help. Thanks.

It should just pull off then if there's no screw. I'd get a screw for it though.

I just pulled it off with a little muscle. I've also replaced my fuel filter. And everything went OK until I went for a drive. Car started OK ( no fuel leak what soever, but when I take a test drive on the streets it's just bog down and almost die around 1500 to 2000 rpm. ( it's not die just bog down and I can't go pass 2500 unless I push the gas real hard. And all kind of choking and bogging. Any clue what's going on? Did I messed up my ignition timing? I really don't think so because the car still start fine. Plus I did not remove my dizzy. Help please......

Check for proper timing and fuel pressure. Since those are the only things you touched I'd start there.

Go to autozone and get a Haynes manual and a timing gun.
