no start 1991 TQ 20v frustrations continue

I did it by making a loop out of a piece of wire or fishing string.   Put 
the loop around the metal cap hold down strap and with the cap and the front  
(easy to reach) strap in place pull up on the loop an it should snap rite  
it.

I did  manage to release the distributor cap, and confirm the rotor is

doing, or is it all by blind touch?
