Yep pull the distributor ( Dont HAVE to but will make it much easier as that lower is not the lightest ) pull the cap and mark where the rotor is pointing and also mark a line by the hold down and on the distr. shaft. this way when you go to put i back in line up the line on the dis. and the line on the blobk or the hold down and make sure the line and the rotor line up and you know you got it back in the right tooth. then if all the fuel rails and and or vaccum lines are disconnected it just needs to be pulled off. Its DEF. not gonna come off easy as it will fight ya all the way. but keep prying and youll get it
