Shawn Miller Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 try using a long pipe over the end of your wrench to increase the leverage as you turn it. do this soemwhat slowly.shawn miller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrpushbutton Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Apply, then remove heat, over and over again, trying the pipe wrench while the area around the distributor is still warm. Heat around the distributor hole, not the dist. body itself. Heat-cycle it about four times before trying the wrench, and spray penetrating oil around the base as it cools down each time, but not immediately after heating the area.

Guest Randy Berger Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Use PB Blaster in place of the penetrating oil. The heat method will also help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
