	I am trying to change the dist. rotor on a 97 CR-V, but can't get a screwdriver or ratchet behind it to loosen the screw. Any ideas or help?? thanks -- Message posted via http://www.carkb.com

Any ideas or help??> thanks ----------------------- The screw head has to be facing the firewall for you to get at it . . Turn the engine over using the starter and / or power steering pulley nut to get it there. Be sure to use a large phillips screwdriver, or grind a few thousandths off the tip of whatever you have if it doesn't fit the screw PERFECTLY. A drywaller's large tip might fit well. You'll probably need lots of torque to get it out, so don't start by wrecking the screw with an incorrect tip. http://www.hondasuv.com/stg/viewtopic.php?t=8173 You can also slip the distributor out in about five minutes, but make sure to mark the exact position of the timing adjustment, and replace the O-ring when you reassemble.

	i use an impact screwdriver to get this screw undone. You know, you whack the end of this screwdriver with a hammer, and it turns and pushes down simultaneously. This tool works great for any stripped or stubborn fasteners, as long as you have room to swing a hammer. http://www.brandsonsale.com/impact-screwdriver.html t

Something could surely get bent or cracked. 'Curly'

	I used it on my rotor (98 civic). You don't have to whale on it or nuthin, in fact mine came off without having to hit very hard at all. The impact screwdriver is heavy and the handle has a large diameter, allowing for maximum leverage. And yes, its the philips (correct spelling..hehe) screw that holds the rotor to the distributor shaft. t

	depends on the vehicle, check the manual or ask the dealer. I did mine after 100000kms. probably should have done it before. I have a 98 civic. t
