Re: How to replace your 96 Accord LX 2.2L distributor

Note: your video is telling that I am missing a plug in and that I need a download manager to view your video. I can view pretty much every other video format... sorry I'm not downloading this add supportive software! Those things are full of crap... you should get yourself a youtube account...they are free and there is no installation of 3rd party software involved!

Besides that there are only 3 steps to removing the distributor...
• Set engine to TDC,
• Remove spark plug wires and
• Remove 3 mounting bolts!

Installation is the reverse except that you have to line up the distributor shaft with the camshaft. there is a line on the bottom of the distributor and the key to help with that. Besides, it will only go on one way easily! If you where to use extreme force and press the distributor shaft key into the camshaft. Then you could put it on wrong and be 180 out.
