How long does it take for rotors to be replaced?
But exactly how long does it take to replace brakes and rotors? Due to the fact that various components that make up the brake system are subject to wear and tear, they will need to be replaced. This process can take expert mechanics anywhere from thirty minutes to one hour. This is according to an expert opinion.
Can you replace the distributor cap and rotor?
To replace the distributor itself, yes, but not just the cap and rotor. Triedaq July 6, 2016, 2:41am #3 The distributor cap and rotor can only fit one way onto the distributor. If the distributor remained in the engine, there is no problem.
Do you have to note the position of the rotor?
You don’t have to note the position of the rotor if you are only replacing the distributor cap and rotor. The rotor only goes on one way and nothing gets moved to alter the timing. Even if the distributor itself were pulled from the engine and installed incorrectly, the mechanic would know very quickly.
Is the rotor pointing at the timing mark?
Turn it clockwise until the timing mark is even with the pointer on the timing cover AND there is compression building in the cylinder. BOTH need to occur or you are 180 degrees out. Is the rotor pointing at #1?
Where does the rotor point in a distributor?
As cylinder #1 comes up to to the highest point, the rotor in the distributor needs to point to #1 terminal. You can turn the engine over with a breaker bar and a socket on the harmonic balancer bolt. Turn it clockwise until the timing mark is even with the pointer on the timing cover AND there is compression building in the cylinder.

What should I use to replace my brake rotors?
Clean the surface where the old rotor was so that the new one can be mounted on a clean surface. Due to corrosion, you may be forced to scrap the rust with a soft brush. Inspect and replace any of the bearings and grease seals. Ensure that the new brake rotor is spotlessly clean. You can use brake cleaner solvent to clean any particles.
