If you remove the distributor the easy way, you can't mess up the timing
and don't need to later adjust it.

Just leave the clamp bolt tight. Remove the 13mm sized nut that holds
the clamp bracket down to the engine block. Then lift out the
distributor along with the clamp bracket. The timing clamp remains tight
on the distributor. Put the whole thing back when you are done.

I'm just a little worried about getting it back in without messing up the timing if  I do take it out. Do I need to remove it? Any other advice for doing this job?
