I am trying to remove the distributor from my '73 1.7. I have removed everything incl the 13 mm nut under the vacuum advance canister. I was told it will now just pull right out. No go. I have soaked the heck out of the base of the distributor with PB Blaster and it still wont pull out.
I am taking it out because the long clamp bolt at the front cannot loosen up and I am afraid of snapping it off while the distrib is in the car. Does this bolt need to be loose to remove the distributor? Any suggestions on how to get it out? I am getting close to taking a pry bar and trying to lever it out. Many thanks for the advice. Ed |

Yes, there's an M8 (13mm head size) nut holding the clamp to the engine block, this must be removed first.
