--------------------------

Last time I changed my rotor I just slipped the distributor off and laid
it on top of the air filter (CR-V) so I could get a clean shot at the
screw. The connector was too hard to pop apart but there's enough wire
on the CR-V. If you take yours off, have a replacement O-ring on hand.
They really should be replaced or they will leak.
