Removing
1. Remove the air filter ducts from the left side of the engine (contact the head Power and exhaust systems).
2. Turn away screws of fastening and remove a cover from the distributor case. Move the spark plug cover and wiring to the side, or if necessary, separate the wires from the cover, spark plugs and holder and remove them (refer to illustrations).
3. Disconnect the slider from the distributor shaft and remove the plastic shield (refer to accompanying illustration).
4a. Using a socket wrench, remove the two mounting bolts.
4b. Disconnect the distributor from the cylinder head (refer to illustrations).
5. Remove seal from distributor base (refer to accompanying illustration).
Inspection
1. Check the distributor slider and distributor cap (contact the head Maintenance) and replace them if necessary.
2. Check up size of a backlash between a shaft of the distributor and the case. It shouldn't be excessive. Otherwise, the distributor must be replaced.
3. Check the condition of the distributor base seal and replace if necessary.
Installation
1. Install in reverse order. If the distributor cap needs to be replaced, swap the spark plug high voltage wiring from the old cap to the new cap.
