Trying to replace the Hall sender in the above distributor. Distributor is out of the car, on the workbench. New sender is in hand. Looking at the Bently manual for replacing the sender and on page 280-14, fig. 30 it shows that you have to remove the trigger wheel circlip to get to the Hall sender. I'm stumped - I don't see any splits or anything else to be able to spread said circlip to remove it. Anybody done this and "broken the code"? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
TIA,
Randy

There are 2 types of distributors. 1 has a circlip on top and you remove the trigger wheel to access hall switch. Other type has fixed trigger wheel, and this type is disassembled by removing the pin from the drive gear on the bottom, and pulling shaft/trigger wheel out of the housing.

That was my next attempt, Bob. So why doesn't the Bently "bible" shoot us this tidbit of info? Thanks for the help - I'll finish it up in the AM.
Cheers,
Randy
