Is there something that I should know about removing the rotor from
inside the distributor (92 Volvo 240)? I just try to pull it up but is
not coming out. Is there a pin or I need to do something else?

Please help
Mike

They jam on there pretty tight sometimes, I've had to break them apart
before to get them off. Now I grease the shaft lightly before installing
the new one, seems to help.

I tried to take one off yesterday, no go, so I cracked it off with a small
hammer and chisle, wear eye protection the chips are like bullets. Then
some lubrication on the shaft and press the rotor strait down firmly.
