Been trying to get the distributor out of my y block for over a week now. From what I remember, there was a not holding a flat piece of metal up against the distributor shaft on top of the block. I've been spraying it with blaster every day and trying to turn it a bit, hitting it up from underneath it with a block of wood but no movement. Hope someone has an idea or maybe I forgot to do something.
