Hi All,
I am unable to remove the Distributor driving gear, to ready the re-timing of the dizzy after fitting new timing chains & tensioners. Plus refurb‘d head.
l‘ve removed the fuel pump & the push rod. (O/h‘d pump)
I’ve screwed a bolt into the thread in the drive gear and it‘s free enough to pull up about 5mm but then gets stuck.
I’ve then tried screwing the bolt tightly into drive gear & can feel a slight twist on the 5mm of free play, so tried twisting in this direction to help
removal, which didn’t work.
I‘ve got a spare auxiliary drive unit and this is also stuck, with same free play, so suspect it’s me not knowing how to remove.
Car is an 2000SC 1970 series 2.
cheers John.
