removing distibutor

[BBBurban at aol.com]

My friend had his 1989 Audi 80 4 banger apart to install a variable timing 
gear...due to several problems with the install (all his fault) we found it 
necessary to retime his engine.  During the process it turned out that the 
distributor was not just stuck ... but seemingly welded to the block, and it 
needed to come out to replace a few internals.  After much struggling and 
swearing we resorted to our last option... a rather big slide hammer.  It 
worked but I never would have thought removing a distributor would require 
such extreme measures.
