Step 5
Remove rotor and mechanical advance
components (springs, weights, etc.)
including small lock nut (circle) on the
advance stop bushing pin from under
advance mechanism.
Step 6
Remove roll pin from drive gear and then
remove gear from shaft. This is best
completed using an arbor or hydraulic
press so pressure can be applied in a
slow and controlled manner. Trying to
drive the pin out with a hammer and
punch could potentially damage the drive
gear or the distributor itself. Note that
the roll pin does not need to be
completely pressed out of the gear. It
only needs to be pressed out far enough
that the gear can be removed from the
shaft.
Step 7
Carefully remove the entire shaft
assembly from the distributor housing.
Be mindful of any shims and their proper
location for reassembly.
