93 LX 2.2 noob distributor question.
Howdy Honda Forum!
I'm doing a tuneup and quite a lot more. My last step (and the easiest) is the cap and rotor. Videos I've seen show the rotor having a set screw in the side of the shaft for removal. The rotor currently on the car, and the rotor I have to replace it, do not have a set screw. So what is the best procedure for removing this thing? I have always been taught to finess instead of use force wherever possible. But I'm not seeing a way to remove the old rotor without a little muscle. So should I lever it off, or just pull on the sucker super hard or is there a trick? Thanks in advance! JMA 93 LX, 113K Miles. In the past 20K miles: new rotors, bearings, tie rod ends, waterpump, timing and balancer shaft belts, accessory belts, 3 hoses, upper and lower valve cover gaskets, oil pressure sender, pcv valve, exhaust mid pipe, and added a trailer hitch. Still to go: power steering rack, pump, and hoses. (I'd prefer a manual rack) Climate control fan switch, door window regulator paint job Transmission oil cooler Aux battery kit and 160 Amp alternator. Front tow clips roof rack |
They can be very tight and hard to remove. Weakest link is the rotor itself so some force is possible w/o risk. You may be able to pry against the side of the distributor lower housing.
Warming cap w/ a hair dryer or heat gun may allow easier release as plastic expands more than metal. good luck |
