Distributor Pickup Coil and Breaker Plate

I'm trying to replace the distributor pickup coil and breaker plate, but the reluctor is in the way. I removed the screw in the shaft, but can't get the reluctor to come off. From what I've seen in the manuals, it sounds like I need to remove the distributor. Any input on whether it can be done without removing the distributor? If this has already been addressed in another post, my apologies.
