Change of platinum screw breaker, super 5 1.1L petrol

IMPORTANT! Remove the battery to perform this operation to avoid any problems!! (remove the - first and then remove the + and for reassembly put the + first then the -)

You have to remove the distributor head, it is held by the small clips that I show in the photos, there are 2 clips, the other is on the opposite side, once the clips are removed, pull the head upwards.

then the rotor/distributor finger (small black tip with the copper rod in the center) you just have to pull it upwards as well, this will allow us to have access to the platinum screw/breaker (see photos)

first step remove the contact from its housing (see the first photo with the red rectangle)

Then remove the screw that holds the capacitor with a small flat screwdriver (blue circle in the second photo)

Pull up the plastic tip (green circle in the 3rd photo)

Move back the retaining clip (red circle in the photo)

Be careful, this one has a tendency to jump, personally I put paper so that it doesn't fall into my lighter

Remove the insulating washer (green circle 2nd photos)

Be careful not to lose it! (yours doesn't look like mine simply because mine was broken, I replaced it)

With your finger, exert pressure on the part of the switch in order to dislodge it from its location (yellow circle 3rd photos) and with your other hand pull the switch upwards (green circle 3rd photos)

Using your large flat screwdriver, loosen the retaining screw completely (red circle)

Be careful not to lose the two washers of the latter

Remove the small black retaining clip (blue circle always in the first photo)

Using a 7mm socket, completely unscrew the nut (orange circle, 2nd photo)

You will need to have your output rod with the spring like in the 3rd picture

For reassembly it's exactly the same as disassembly!

First of all, put our rod back in place with the spring and the stationary part of the breaker.

once in place, completely tighten the nut with a 7mm socket (see photo with red circle) in order to have space to place the breaker then and to make the breaker adjustment

Then put the screw back in place with its washers to keep the part still and tighten it.

Don't forget to put the little black clip back in place! (see photos 3, the green circle)

put the new breaker in the appropriate hole (red circle) and put the rod well in its groove (green circle), push the breaker well to the bottom by pressing on it

Then put the insulating washer and the retaining clip back on top (see photo number 2, it should be like this)

It is important to put the insulating washer back in place, otherwise you will see a false contact and damage your system.

Fix the new capacitor in place and put the screw (orange circle 3rd photos)

Replace the plastic connector (red circle)

Replace the electrical connector in its intended location (see photo 2, blue circle)

Replace the distributor rotor/finger, as well as the distributor head with its clips.

And there you have it, well done! I advise you to go and see my other tutorial to adjust your breaker play! (this is important otherwise you will have ignition problems!)
