Well, it's only 2 screws. Just make sure you have a good screwdriver that fits tight and won't strip them. They should screw right out. You may have to remove the rotor, I can't remember. I use the screwdriver again to push down on the actuator arm to get it out of the hole. Be careful not to move the distributor plate too much because you could pull the wires out of the pick up coil.

After you remove the screws,pull the advance forward some so you can push the rod down.
There's a small opening where the rod will go down and out of the arm.
