Anybody have a trick for taking the rotor off the distributor assembly that has been on for an awfully long time? 1983 260hp MCM.
Thanks in advance!

top jaw of a channel lock pliers under the rotor and levered on the distributor housing usually works for me

Got ya, I tried a bit of force, just didn't want to hurt anything. So just pry it off. Got it.
