I pulled my distributor last week.

I had to heave and twist, thought I was going to lift the car off the ground as the suspension rose with my pulls.

Out of know where it decided to give and pull up.

There are all kind of sturdy flanges on the dizzy and the case it's self which in my opinion can take a little screw driver or pry bar fulcrum action (be careful, I did not have to go that far myself). Try to get a flathead screw driver in between where your timing adjustnment nut was and the support flange. Just be carefull and remember that steel tools are all much harder than aluminum or magnesium.

I did not have an "O" ring on mine.

When I tried to put a new "O" ring on I had to use an old wooden broom handle to tap and push with to get it on. I had synthethic grease on the "O" ring, the dizzy shaft, the gears.................no matter still took some muscle.

EDIT: WD40 as good as it is, is a joke compared to "PB-Blaster", I used PB-Blaster on everything the week before, day before and all day when I pulled it.
