Okay hello out there long story short I got the distributor out and I need to replace the pickup coil but I'm having problems getting the roll pin out at the bottom of the distributor I don't want to cause any damage so can anyone tell me the exact right tool to get it out thank you

note the assembled configuration. support the shaft and use an appropriate sized roll pin punch - gently tap the (roll) pin out.

BTW, it's a 3/16" punch.

Okay cool thanks I tried using a center punch but I realize that wasn't going to work that's why I thought I would ask

Some people use a drill bit. Kinda shakey, and it's easy to break the bit.

For what it's worth...

Just get a reman distributor...done deal.

Yes...yes. That is definitely the right solution. Spend WAY more money than you need to, to fix a simple problem. Indeed.

Deepa

40 bucks for a pickup coil or 80 for a reman distributor?

less labor. No punch needed. Swap and go.

Seems smarter to me.

why stop there - just buy a new car -

Fair enough. Definitely not how I would do it.
