Distributor cap removal

[Alfred]

This is great. It looks quite easy, thanks a lot. I thought I had some WD-40 but I don't so I'll have to get some tomorrow from work.

I'll let you know if I have any issues.

Cleaned distributor, rotor and spark plugs but it didn't improve anything . I'm going to take it to my mechanic on wednesday

Dissy's are fun! haha.

Chances are, if you've had a bit of a moisture promblem for a while, then the contacts in the cap will be a fair bit corroded.

When you go to take the High Tension cables off the dissy, you'll probably find it quite hard to pull them off. Use a large flat head screw driver to ease off the plugs and they'll eventually come away.

If you find yourself cleaning the contacts, and they're incredibly worn (few mm) and you can't remember the last time it was changed (if at all) then order a new one at supercheap for like $50 bucks (and rotor button if it's brass disk is worn) and just replace the lot.

If you ever have an issue with moisure in the dissy, easiest way to dry it out is with a hair dryer. (just don't tell the minister of war and finance)
