    Rotor screw replacement, 95 accord H22F2.
    I'm wondering if any of you fellow accord owners experienced this.

    My rotor holding screw is messed up, it used to take a philips screw driver, but the "grooves" in the head of the screw are gone.

    Would you boys and girls have any tricks up your sleeve on how to get it out ?
    I'm hope I don't have to buy a new distributor.

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Here's what I do:

    Remove the machine screw securing rotor to shaft, using a precision #2 Phillips head screwdriver. A 1/4-inch drive magnetic bit holder (e.g. Wiha 52650) with a #2 Phillips head bit works really well. It may be necessary to "hit" the starter once or twice, in order to rotate rotor for access to mounting screw.

    If the screw is too messed up, try using a pair of Vise-Grips. You may want to spray it first with PB Blaster or Kroil. If all else fails, buy a Craftsman Screw-Out Set (009-52158).
