I assumed he meant Distributor "Rotor". If it is a V8 there are screws, 2 on top.

I don't think it's one of those!!!

They get stuck all the time. Just blow it away somehow; set off a grenade in the distributor, whatever. Just don't bend the shaft.

Put a little of that dielectric grease on the shaft before you put the new one on; it will prevent that from happening again.
