Distributor Shaft?
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi,

What is the easiest way of getting the distributor shaft out? Mine has been place in so my lead to cylinder 4 has no slack in it what so ever.

Thanks

Graham

Sometimes my descriptions are exactly great, so to clarify, im talking about the shaft from the camshaft to to bottom of the distributor.

I always force my finger in, but a bolt screws in, 5/8 rings a Bell, but could be miles out

Scrap that its 5/16unf

The radiator lower mount bolt is the perfect tool for getting it out, its as if BMC did it on purpose

make sure you remove the dizzy holder aswell also you may have to turn engine over as sometimes it can hit the crank 1100 engines allways do it to me

the std gear lever is also the same thread so screw that in and pull.

balls to the blower!!!

Or a rocker shaft bolt.

5/16-24 long bolt screws in to the distributor shaft. When the distributor housings like for example 12A1136 is installed, the bottom edge of the housing barrel should almost, but not quite, touch the top of the shaft. If there is too much space between the bottom of the housing and the shaft, then the shaft can (and will) wobble around as the cam is accelerated/decelerated by the valve springs (within the timing chain slack) and this wobble is seen as timing jitter. Machine the underside of the housing mounting flange to take up the slack.

I tend to use one of the rad-bracket bolts.
