New guy; need help w/distributor

Hi everybody, I'm working on a 76 Aspen with a 318. I tried to replace the distributor rotor (which is bad) and it won't pop up no matter how hard I pry. Am I doing something wrong? I'm a reformed Ford person and am new to Mopars. Thanks

It should just lift up. I'd just keep prying, maybe shoot some wd-40 up underneath the rotor.

It's definitely stuck, keep prying or just use a hacksaw and carefully cut it off.

As long as its not a slant six, and you destroy the plastic drive gear while doing it! Like I have.
