If you have a 1.8L, 2.0L or a 2.4L engine, here's how using only a screwdriver and a wrench or ratchet.
1. check to see if your engine is on Dead Top Center(markings on the crankshaft pulley should line up when in TDC)
2. The #1 piston needs to be on the compression stroke. this needs to be properly lined up before you continue.
3. Disconnect the negative cable on your battery (BLACK ONE), then pull the spark plug wires from the distributor cap.
4. Mark the engine block and rotor positions and then unscrew the screws to remove the distributor cap.
5. Unscrew the wiring connections from the distributor with your screwdriver.
6. Use a wrench or ratchet to remove the bolt(s) that hold the distributor in the engine. Depending on the year the number of bolts varies.
7. Finally, lift the distributor up and out of the cylinder block.
