I want to replace the ignition rotor. I took off the distributor cap and a pulled on the rotor. It didn't result in it coming out. I used to replace them on old American cars and they just pulled off. I just want to check before I put more force on it to remove it.

This may help others. By leaving the cap off and advancing the engine slowly with the ignition key I found a Philips head screw holding the rotor in place.

 

What year and car is it? No Accord 03+ should have a distributor as far as Im aware.

 

There is probably an allen set-screw holding it to the shaft. This is obviously not an 03+ Accord.

 

take that phillps screw out and it should pull right off, somtimes the screws can be a #$%^#$ to get off, and the rotors get stuck too, just don't break it. Than just pull the black cover off and you'll see the coil. @ screws with wires, and 2 holding it in. and your good
