Anyone with pictures and how to change this?
Is it a DIY job?

thanks

It's pretty straight forward. I recall there is a diagram under cover that shows the proper terminal indexing and the wires might be marked. If you don't find it, make your own diagram and mark the wires.

You'll need a small metric Allen wrench to change the rotor. I recall it was 4 or 5 mm.

Two allen wrenches: 5mm for the cap (three screws, one on the bottom and moderately hard to get at) and 3mm for the rotor. If I was to give one peice of advice it would be: be very careful not to strip out any of the cap screws, because if you do you are SOL. Good luck and if you have any specific ?'s just ask 'em.

Check out the distributor/rotor changing description in the DIY section -- the only real difference is that you only have one, and there are six wires instead of four.

It's very easy to reach, just pull the plastic cover off.
