So I haven't been able to find a solution to this in other threads.
I was trying to take out the distributor in order to swap out my upper timing tensioner, but the damn thing won't come out. I tried prying it out and ended up dislodging the distributor from the shaft, so probably gonna have to get a new one as well.
It's come out about a 1/4 inch, but still stuck. Any ideas? I've tried blasting it with catalyst.
