Subject:Re: Mark vs. the Distributor - Chapter 1(was "Driving dog" pin

The pin is tapered and comes out one way.

I used a small drift and pounded the pin out.  My 88 Digifant distributor had the trigger wheel attached to the shaft and would NOT come off.  It was not easy, but I got the pin removed.

If it does not come off one way try the other way.

I put it on a vise just opened enought to be able to drive the pin out between the jaws.  The distributor needs to be on a FIRM solid mount to drive the piun out.
