Yes, if you have a cranked box-end distributor wrench that's built for 
exactly this application, of course. Its a bit more difficult getting the nut 
(or bolt) out with a u-jointed socket wrench. Pulling the hatch only allows 
easier access to the hold-down nut (or bolt). You still need to and climb up 
on top of the motor to pull the air cleaner, cap   and the distributor body. 
And MARK the rotor position on the distributor body before removing, so 
you're sure its pointimng to the same place once it goes back in. No one can 
remember the exact position for more than a minute and again, one tooth makes 
all the difference. Good luck- J Deryke
