Replacing Distributor Oil Seal
Ok So I took off the distributor off today to get at the seal on the back of the dizzy. Now my question is how do you get to the seal? There is cap before the seal and the rotating piece that goes into the camshaft.

I read some threads on the old forum , but nobody mentioned how they actually got the seal out. ANy Info would be appreciated.

I just replaced this last week. I used a knife to carefully cut the rubber and it pretty much fell right off
