I started overhauling the engine of my MK V, 2.5, 1950, trying to dismantle the distributor, which unfortunately I didn’t succeed. The piece doesn’t move a millimeter. I loosened all visible screws, including on the tappet cover plate. Can someone give me a tip on how I can dismantle the distributor.
Thank you very much for the help.

Hello Geri, here is a photo of page P.9 of the Service Manual which gives directions for removing the distributor (also on page B.26). Also shown below is a photo of the bolting arrangement on my 3.5 Mark V saloon. Finally, I’ ve attached a copy of the Electrical section, P, of the Service Manual.
It is recommended to have a copy of the Service Manual and the Spare Parts Catalogue for engine overhauling. These can be bought used in paper form from places like ebay. I have them in portable document file (PDF) form if desired.

Just two screws to remove, then it pulls straight up.
Thank you very much for the tips.
Since I had already removed all screws, the distributor has not moved a millimeter. I then tried a little warmth, see that it worked. The distributor could now be easily removed.
