Chevrolet, S10 Blazer, 1993, 166,000 mi, 4.3L V6.
Recently my Blazer was running rough and I found the distributor cap was cracked. I bought a new cap and rotor but I can't seem to be able to get the old rotor off. The Chiltons manuel I have says the rotor lifts off but I have pulled and pulled on it and it does not want to come off the shaft Is there a trick to it I am missing. Thank you in advance for your help

sometimes they can be a little stubborn. just take your time and be patient. you might be able to pry under the base of the rotor with a flathead screwdriver. just make sure that the screw driver isn't prying against anything plastic. good luck on your repairs...
