Oil in distributor cap. Need help removing

Hey guys I have 94 vt that the distributor is leaking oil inside cap. I want to remove the distributor so I can put new seals on. I took of cap and rotor and inside were 4 bolts with 5m allen head bolts. I took those out but cant seem to pulls out distributor. Am I missing something here? There are 2 bolts where there is a flange that holds what I believe the distributor shaft in place but I dont want to mess with that unless it has to come. Thank you in advance for your help

 

If I recall, you have to remove the white ish center bar as well before you pull off the cap. Just make sure to note the orientation.

Thanks. I took the 4 Allan head screws out and just had to pry it out a bit. I guess you can advance the timing from here. Replaced on-ring and don't see any oil yet. Now saw one of the phase sensors with the wire frayed. Do I just unbolt and replace or do I have to adjust the sensors

The wire part I don't recall. As far as timing, I thought the shop manual said that the ECU will adjust the timing too but I don't know enough to give advice there. Just be careful

You will notice there is nothing inside the distributor, but the rotor. You cannot adjust the timing by moving it. You can install it incorrectly and have a problem. SO, just make note of where it was when you remove it and reinstall in the same place.

Next the sensor, you just remove and replace, do not try to move it or anything else. Just put everything back like it came out.

 

There is a way to change the timing, so let me know if you really want to attempt that.
