Dizzy difficulty

I am trying to remove the distributor on my 2.9 12v but I cannot get at the bolt, any suggestions anybody ?
Does the distributor have to come out to change the Ignition Module ?
TIA

Hi Paul, it is tight fit to get at the dizzy. However, if you can cut a 13mm spanner to half length (bout 3 inches) you should be able to get at it. A rachet spanner will do the trik. Its a slow start but once you get it undone a few turns the bolt shud come out easily.......
Cheers Nick

Hi Nick,
Thanks for the reply, did you use a ring spanner or an open ender ? I couldn`t get an open end to locate properly but wondered about grinding the side down a bit. I`ll have to improvise with what i have as the car isn`t going anywhere.
Thanks,
Paul Boulden

if you have some thing to heat a spanner to red hot and a welder you can make a crows foot spaner that clears the top of the dizzy so you can get it to turn easy
or you can buy one in a good motorfactors
