P/U Coil Removal

[SeattleSy#1255]

i have the dissy out but how do i remove the stuff under the rotor and the "metal plate" (lack of proper terms) that surrounds the P/U coil? Basically, how do i get it.

would also like a part# for a new dissy...i know i can go MSD but i have heard some people have probs. with them...probably prefer a stock dissy.

Their are two ways, removing the whole metal bracket assembly or remove the 10mm bolt to coil itself. The 10mm bolts are really hard to put back on. I prefer to remove the bracket. The front bolt can be taken out with a wrench the back one with an extension swivel and a socket.

To remove the P/U Coil, you have to pound the pin out of the gear at the bottom of the dist. Take the gear off and then the entire upper part of the dist will come out shaft and all. Then you can replace the P/U Coil. I had to do it to mine recently so the steps are still fresh in my mind..

I need to do this myself. Does it matter if the gear gets rotated or does everything need to be marked so it goes back in the same place?

A nail... that was the best way without messing up the pin. The gear only goes on one way.. well 2 but even if you put it on 180 from when you took to off it is in the same spot. Once you take it out and look at it, it will make sense.

There is a dimple in the gear that should line up with the rotor keyway when you re-assemble.
