To remove the rotor of my distributor on my 00 gsr, do i have the turn the crank to line the screw with the hole on the rotor or something like that? When i went to remove it the first time, i could not figure out how the heck to get the rotor off.

 

just crank the motor a little

 

the safest method i know to expose the rotor screw for removal is...

disconnect the battery
manually crank the motor with a 19mm through the driverside fender liner.

ive seen people short coils by cranking without the spark plug wires

 

another way is to mark the dizzy and the head with a marker, remove the dizzy and then remove the rotor, it will only go back in one way don't force it (when reinstalling the dizzy)

thanks guys.... ill report back when my parts come and ive completed the job

 

also, if you have a hard time removing the screw from the rotor, try some vice grip pliers. that was the only way i could get mine out. and the new rotor should come with a replacement screw
