Removing the rotor?- front mount distributor

"Here is what happens over a long period of time.

If there is any of the grease that is placed on to the rotor shaft that gets up under the rotor it will act like varnish and glue the rotor to
the shaft. If you take some starting fluid and spray on the shaft it will almost instantly dissolve the varnish and the rotor should slip
right off. If using starting fluid worries you, then use some oil of wintergreen. If you don't have any of then, then get out the bug and
tar remover, that stuff used to take road tar off your car, spray the shaft down with that. Keep in mind that all of these are solvents and the grease where the points contact the shaft of the rotor will have to be daubed back on. I use a cotton swab and some light wheel bearing grease anytime I lube the points where it contacts the shaft. Not a lot, just a light coating is enough.

Sincerely
George

now and then, well you ain't normal."
