Distributor rotor

I feel really dumb for asking, but I've searched and and searched the forum (doesn't help that this car has engine rotors, brake rotors, and distributor rotors.) How do you change the rotor? I've got the new one in hand, and it just seems like it's pressed on. I don't see any set screws or anything. In the process of changing the cap, rotor, and spark plug wires. Just need this rotor and a battery.

That's what I thought, I just didn't want to pull too hard. Change that tomorrow.

you, its super easy. jus tmake sure you install the flat portion correctly over the shift. the distributor shaft has a corresponding flat area that lines the rotor correctly on the shaft.

Awesome. I also realized that my RX7 and Protege5 use the same battery, so I'll just swap my good P5 battery into the RX and give it a go
