This is for very junior mechanics like me .I had a tough time putting
the distributors back in so I came up with 
this solution.
 
Remove the green sealing ring and fit the distributor without it .It
goes in much easier. When it's nicely  in place take a piece of duct
tape
and placed it over the rotor and distributor body to lock this position
in place. Take distributor out ,put the ring back in and it will go in a
lot easier. Remove tape.
I also used a bit of lubricant.
