so I finally decided to change the cap and rotor in the ole beast today.... found the old one had one bolt broken off and it was held on with a zip tie?. (The joys of buying a used truck....after about an hour of screwing with it i resorted to ...yep more zip ties...good thing I have a body lift or I would have set the thing on fire today for sure...runs better though....I though it ran smooth before but now there is defiantly more get up and go when I hit the gas...

I've read on here befroe of others using vise grips and zip ties on their distributors so it must be a weak design...

 

Yep i used zipties on my bronco and my blazer both, havent needed to yet on the ram but with my luck im sure it's coming

 

maybe its the crappy quality bolts that come on the distributors these days...

 

well if the bottom of the screw is poking out the hole on the bottom of the destrib then you might be able to take a dremel cutting wheel

and cut a slit in the bottom of the screw and take a stubby flathead screw driver and try and back it out that way

 

I know when i did mine, i couldnt see the passenger side screw and did it by feel and i thought i had it, but it wasnt lined up, took a couple tries, so i think people end up stripping the screw out thinking they got it in the whole, this post starting to sound R rated,

 

haha nice
