Per the 1989 Service Manual page 23-66 the Rotor Retaining Screw torque tightness is 3 N-m (0.3 Kg-m, 2.2 lb-ft) . It does not spec the size. Is hard to break loose after 23 years. I just applied small amount of WD-40 and will let it set over night and try again tomorrow. Dave in Florida

Is there a screw holding it on? Look for a black plastic cover over the coil restricting your access to the base of the rotor. You may need to remove this cover. You might also need to crank the engine to a different position fo access the screw if it has one. If there is no such screw, just pull the thing off.
How do you remove a stuck distributor rotor on a 98 Honda civic?
shoud be a Philips screw on the side of the rotor. remove carefully using a quality screwdriver. sometimes the rotor sticks on. get a hammer and metal or wood bar/stick tap at the top behind the rotor to get it to move. it might take a minute but keep at it and it will eventually move . I had to tap mine all the way off the distro. Or squirt some penetrating lube in the screw hole, wait a few minutes and try to twist it. When it breaks loose it will be easy to get off.

In order to get the set screw in a position so it can be easily removed, you have to get the rotor to rotate. Act as if you are going to start the car, but only hold the key in the start position for a split second. The cars engin will turn over, and the rotor will rotate, hopefully to where it is easier to get the screw out. If not, try again.
