Re: 1940 Packard 120 distributor disassembly

Here’s a photo of the distributor as I have taken it apart this far. Notice on the shaft I’ve removed the pin that apparently holds the shaft to the body(?). This required filing off one peened side of the pin and then driving it out. I was hesitant to do that, but it appeared to be the only last connection to removing the shaft from the body. I then held the unit by the shaft and tap the body with a hammer. Not too hard, but enough in my opinion to separate the two. Nothing. No movement. Hmm…do I get more aggressive? Any input would be great.

Thanks, Erik
