    Tools Required
  • 8mm wrench
  • Phillips head screw driver


Difficulty of Installation
Not hard at all.
It took me about 10 minutes. (might have been faster if I had set out the tools right away) I changed my cap and rotor at my Apt. complex under the covered parking.

    Removal/Disassembly
  • Remove new distributor cap from box. Compare to current cap to check for accuracy in product.
  • Label all plug wires or find a way to remember which are which.
  • Remove plug wires from distributor cap.
  • Using Phillips head screw driver, loosen two Phillips head screws on distributor cap.
  • Remove cap.
  • Compare new rotor with old to check accuracy in product.
  • Using 8mm wrench or ratchet, remove small screw on distributor rotor. (screw is not on top, but rather on side of rotor.)
  • Remove rotor.

    Installation
  • Install new rotor.
  • Replace small screw on side of rotor using 8mm wrench. Do not overtighten.
  • Install new distributor cap.
  • Making sure cap is tight against distributor assembly, tighten the 2 screws which hold down the cap using a Phillips head screw driver.
  • Replace spark plug wires in correct places. (this should be easy if you labeled them during removal)

I also disconnected my battery before starting this procedure. I did this to reset the computer's memory for the new cap and rotor.
