well i planned on changing my dizzy cap and rotor tonight, since ive owned the car for nearly 3 years and never changed it. nor do i know if the previous owner did. so anyways as i was removing the bottom bolt, it snapped! i assume im going to have to drill it out. so my questions are.

is it difficult to remove the distributor, just remove the 3 bolts and slide it out im assuming? also, does anyone know what size tap i'll need to re-thread it?

I've done that .


Luckily, the broken part stuck out enough on the valve cover side that I could grab it with vice-grips and twist it out. Usually, that's what happens if you over-tighten that bolt and it breaks - it will stick out through the other side a little bit.

 

bah! this is so lame. i hate when stupid things happen..

im going to try and get ahold of an ez-out and see if it will work..

 

well i have a new issue. the god damn rotor wont come off.. and yes i took the screw out.

wtf this car is really starting to **** me off..lol

any idea's on how to get the rotor off? i tried to pry it off with a screw driver, but i dont want to break the plastic shield that is behind it.. rar!

searching would have worked fine, but since the search isnt working, im SOL!
