1) Disconnect the harnesses with the shortest leads, a small screwdriver to release the lock tabs (sometimes not so easy if caked with gunk).

2) Unbolt the distributor assembly and carefully expose the rotor. Mark the rotor so that you don't have to remember its position when you reattach it. Put the screws in so you don't lose 'em (easy).

3) Set the distributor aside....no need to completely disconnect it.
