distributor follower
1986 300E -M103
I'm changing out the radiator and some tranny cooling lines so I thought this would be a good time to address my front upper cover leak. I am almost there but the distributor follower won't come off. Is there a trick or is it just seized and I need to really bang and bust it out of there.

Did you remove the bolt?
This is probably something only I could do but there is a bolt that holds that in place. Did you remove it? The second picture that you have looks like the replacement that they sent me to replace the one that I broke to pieces before realizing that it was bolted on.
Good luck.

There is an engine differentiation on the two types. I will probably end up useing a pickle fork on it and end up ordering new parts to put back in.

pickle fork sounds scary!
Since the thing is banged up anyway, what about breaking the ears off and using small vise grips or similar and pulling the pieces out. Once part of it is out hopefully it will loosen up. I would be afraid of the amount of lateral pressure a pickle fork would put on your seals.
As for my replacement I test fit it and put a little anti-sieze before bolting it up.
