Removing Distributer

[olddirtyrake]

Well here I am again, frustrated, tired, and sick of doing twice the work because of a mistake I made. I have to pull the distributor and set it back one notch because I think its timed at about 22 right now and wont go back to 15 where I would like it to be. Hopefully this will solve my problem of getting 10mpg and less as its not throwing any codes out. Is there any way to pull those 2 bolts holding it on without having to start disassembling. I think I took it off when I was doing the head gasket so it was a piece of cake. But now everything is back together and I put it back on incorrectly. I have the bolt closest to you off but the one thats further in is still on. I can barely get a wrench on it,and when I did the bolt rounded just enough to not be able to wrench it off. What the hell kind of steel did they use seems like every bolt I touch on this damn thing snaps cheap Japanese steel. I am going to try using a needle nose vice grip today if I can get it in there. Other than that I'm stumped and its like zero degrees out with out windchill. 95 nissan pathfinder XE

remove the wires from the cap, take the whole dizy inside, warm up and wait for me to link you this.....

 

 

Ok you warm yet? try to get that last dizy cap screw off and prolly replace it. once you can get the cap off you can follow these useful steps.

If you haven't done your cap and rotor in a long time maybe consider it. New caps come with new screws and they just need to be snug not too tight .
