Audi 20V Engines that use a Glued On Distributor Rotor
Some of the Audi Distributor rotors are glued onto the distributor
shaft. In order to remove the old distributor rotor, it often needs
to be broken or crushed when removing it from the shaft using a pair
of channel lock pliers. You can also use a dremel cutting wheel to "carefully"
cut off the old rotor. Use a rag to protect the internals of the distributor
from the broken rotor particles.
Be careful not to damage the shaft when crushing this rotor and removing
the left over pieces. You need to thoroughly clean the distributor shaft
with some fine sand paper and some non residue cleaning solvent like
brake clean. Loctite primer solution is also recommended after cleaning
and then use Loctite 640 (or equivalent) to secure the new rotor in
place. The Loctite needs at least 4 hours to dry before you can start
the engine.
