Help Rotor...

I just got the dis cap off
I am pulling up on the rotor
but its on tight

I don;t see any screwsjust wondering
how much pressure I have to use

I;m afraid of breaking the distrib

I have new rotor so not worried about that

Should I pull really hard
use a tool

Just trying to be careful

Loooking at new rotor
it just slips on...

Thanks..

ooooh dis cap looks pretty good as they go
some trails

I;ll take pics when I;m done...

Thanks

Doing vac hose changes in meantime...
2 hours to do a quad & 2 hoses...one bugger I still can't get all the way on the bottom of the WUR...hole may be a but small
but big hol hose is too big...
got it half way...

Found a disconnected electrical connection behind dis area.
seems to be coming from the bundle near the WUR

I wonder if that has anything to do w me not finding my ICV???

just wonder if there is any release on the rotor???

don't want to pull if there is...

Anyone familar w the W126...83 SE era...
think they are all the same

Your rotor should pull off. sometimes they are stuck. Don't worry about breaking the distributor. you can tap the rotor with a small hammer , tap it upwards and it should come off. Sometimes they are a booger bear.

Good luck with it.

Yep mine was stubborn

Thanks!

it was a real tight

Rotor is burnt on tip
so its got some problem....what makes the tip burn?
cap looked pretty decent except most carbon was in # 8 area

Got off the rotor
the stem was rusty
I wiped rust brushed it w a brass brush
wiped all visible parts
wiped any carbon from housing

installed new rotor
was thinking maybe it should have lube but since its a spinning thing
I opted for the safe thing
just installed it out of the box
but figured cleaning the post & dis parts was a good thing...



new rotor was hard getting on
Anyway got it on all the way

I did not do any grease under cap or contacts under ther
hope thats ok

I have read dielectric grease in boots that go to plugs & cap...

pic of the electrical connection

It;s got 2 holes for prongs
Bet someone pulled the ICV
still its working pretty good to have none...
