    Here it is, a beautiful Saturday morning. What a killer day to work on the truck.

    I can't get the distributor out. HELP!

    I've tried coating the base with brake cleaner. That hasn't worked.

    Ideas?

    Remember which direction the rotor is pointing. then as you pull up twist the rotor back. and it should come up. hope that helps.
