The distributor is in the way of mine so I can't even get to it without taking the damn distributor off. Turns the simple short project into one that I keep putting off.

I'm fairly sure that I did it with a box end wrench. I know I didnt have to touch the distributor.

Agreed, there shouldn't be any need to touch the distributor. A regular combination wrench gets the job done...a ratcheting wrench does it quicker.
