I replaced my rotor and dist. cap on my 1990 90q20v last year. The
factory installed rotor is glued onto the shaft. Just be prepared to
forcibly break apart the old rotor. I used a pair of channel locks to
"chew" off the old rotor. Took about five minutes. Once the spindle is
clean of plastic debris, insert new rotor in place. HTH.
