Default trouble changing the distributor rotor..

hi, i been buying distributor king brand dizzy's, because they are 150 and have a good warranty, i had one go bad after 2 years and it got replaced for free. well the other day i was doing a tune up and decided to change the rotor on the dizzy. went to autozone got a regular rotor and went to change it and....

There is no screw holding the rotor on! i removed the distributor and turned the rotor all the way around several times while looking at the side of the rotor shaft. usually you can turn it to the little window and see the one screw holding it on and remove it there, but this one does not even have a hole.. possible glued on? anyways has anyone ever used distributor king and replaced a rotor? i contacted dist king about it and never got a reply.

is it for sohc? some of them are press fit on. takes quite a bit of force to take them off. but after you get it off, theres a threaded hole for the new rotor and screw to hold it on. goodluck.
