Distributor install ?

Don't know where the magnet thing came into play, all he was asking was how to rotate the oil drive shaft, not pull it out lol.

I have advanced the driveshaft with just a telescoping magnet. It will work. You just grab it with the magnet, lift up and rotate it where you want it then drop it back down and slide the magnet off. Any way (using a magnet, screwdriver or combo) will work. I think that's what he meant.
