No. There's a bolt that goes through the rotor and screws into the distributor itself, hence it setting it in the right position. Make sure you use an allen key or a torx may work as well.

Sometimes the shaft and opening for the screw are facing an impossible to access way. Blip the starter or manually rotate the motor to make it easier.

If the screw is hard to take off don't strip it. Use an impact driver.
