Try mixing ATF and acetone 50/50 and soak into and around the body. I finally ended up using a 3 ft crow bat to get mine out, and no I didn't break the casting. If you do a search you will find that many have had nothing but problems with the modern points. FWIW

I've used 2 screwdrivers on opposite sides to lift carefully and evenly, and never broke a distributor, but a 3 foot crowbar..........WOW
