Have not tried in my 911, but my long gone Beetle was always a bear for distributor removal. That fat O-ring really holds tight. I remember using two hands and yanking and twisting for 5 minutes every time. Installation sucked too - the first time I wasn't sure if it would ever go in. Probably took less time to remove the engine than to jack around with the dizzy. I WILL remember the steel wire / sledge method - thanks! Could have use this advice 18 years ago....
