[blizzard335]

cant help u much on this, bro.. im not that experienced in dizzy coils.. i have swapped the same F22 dizzy internals, but that was with guidance from my foreman..

pulling out the plastic rotor thingy was PITA, tho.. it was stuck, so i had to yank it out..

anyone else?

[almostJDM]

lol yea i hear ya on the plactis rotor lol ive got all the screws out of it besides one by the wires down in there but that plate still wont come off grrrr

[almostJDM]

Bump ....anyone?

Unless you have very specific equipment and tools, you can't replace those two sensors.

The only things that are serviceable in that dizzy are the Coil and ignitor.

Even Helms doesn't provide instruction on how to do it.

The place that rebuilds them probably takes care of it.

Sorry dude. It is time for a new dizzy.

lol i got em apart just had to pry the reluctor off and the plate poped off woot then all i had to do was pull them out the reluctor was a PITA tho

its super easy to disassemble and replace the sensors inside.

remove cap, rotor, dust shield, and ignitor. there are two screws holding the top pickup coil and three screws holding the main plate and bearing, remove all 5. pull the snap ring off from around the rotor at the other end of the distributor and pull the pin out, which will let you take the rotor off. NOTE that it can go back on either direction - 180° off would cause serious issues, so make sure you mark which way it goes back on! if you forget, there is a way to tell, but i wont explain here. with the rotor off the tip and the insides loose, push the tip of the dizzy down onto a table and itll pop the shaft and plate up and out. the two remaining pickup coils are just held on by screws.

you can swap the set of 3 coils and their wiring as a whole, just make sure you use the proper F20 main shaft & bearing, while the F22 one would fit, it puts the outer rotor at the wrong angle.

[almostJDM]

[blizzard335]

i'll make some calls to help u out man.. take it easy..
