distributor question

[steveb@falcon.kla.com (Steven Buchholz)]

I buried this request in an earlier reply to Dan, but I didn't get any 
response ... so I figured I'd regurgitate it ... any experiences appreciated!

Since we're on the subject, I'm wondering if anyone out there has rebuilt
the distributor on an '83 urQ or similar.  My distr has bad bearings.  I
have the replacement noted above, which has a fried Hall sender but good 
bearings.  I got the Hall sensor plate out, but it seems like it'll take 
some doing to put it back together again.  Am I going to have to remove 
the drive gear to be able to get to all the springs and such?  

TIA!
