Does the vacuum advance mechanism slide straight out of the distributor body after removal of the set screw? no tricks, no twist or anything? (obviously I have to disconnect the actuator arm from the distributor plate)
It's distributor day in the warm shop with wind and ice outside - I've removed the distributor from my new-to-me 4500 - filthy inside and out, no grommet where the wire enters the body, no dust cover -
The vacuum advance is stuck in the body - I've removed the set screw and put some penetrating oil at the appropriate points, from reading here I understand the unit is not longer serviced so I want to be very careful, but unless I get it out of the distributor body I can't remove the points plate and access the centrifugal advance to clean and lube -
thanks - David
