I have a 1998 Civic EX for which I'd like to replace the distributor rotor (with a Honda distributor rotor that has a set screw).
I removed the distributor cap only to discover that it appears that some sort of aftermarket distributor rotor is currently installed. It has no set screw apparent on it anywhere. (I did turn over the engine a few times to check every side of the rotor for the set screw and had a friend who is car maintenance savvy check as well.)
Pulling on the distributor rotor with my hands doesn't budge it at all.
I searched the forums, but didn't see much advice about how to remove a distributor rotor without damaging the distributor, aside from don't use a screwdriver to pry it off.
Has anyone found any successful tips/techniques for removing one of these aftermarket distributor rotors that doesn't have a set screw?
Thanks in advance!
