Subject:91 Westy distributor rotor stuck...

Hello everyone,

I was checking the repair history of my 91 Westy and found that the
distributor rotor probably has never been replaced. I was trying to replace
it with a new one. That should be an easy job, I thought. But I am having
problem remove the old rotor from its place. I was looking at the new rotor,
there should be nothing that is holding the rotor from the bottom. I use a
screwdriver attempting to lift the rotor arm to make it loose, but I broke
one side of the arm. I think I have done enough damage for the day.
Please, anyone know what happen to the rotor? Is there a button that I have
to push to loosen the rotor? How can I remove the rotor without causing any
damage to the distributor? Any thought will be appreciated.
