so i cant get my rotor out of my distributor...  like it wont pull up. ive unscrewed the bolts next to it thinking that would make it slide up but now. im looking at the one im replacing it with and it should be catching on anything making at not wanting to come up..

pull harder?

not sure about 2.3 rotors, but the 5.0 rotors only fit on the shaft one way, there's a key, or tang...

ummmm, they should be snug, but not tight enough you can't remove 'em. hopefully a PO didn't use loc-tite on it or some such..:punchballs:
