As Veedub8v says, you need to loosen the 13mm retaining bolt that clamps the 'C' clamp at the bottom of the distributer. You should then be able to rotate the whole body. Otherwise as JTM says it may well be siezed, especially if it hasn't been moved for a very long time. Bit of penetrating oil, WD40 or something similar and maybe some gentle encouragement should see you on your way :wink:
