I've done a couple of these myself. Get in touch with Greg at www.gapa.com (I think they have a new website now but it should still link to it)... they sell a distributor repair kit for around $5 that has both the two outer o-rings AND the inner shaft seal. Also, pick up a new cap, rotor, and hall effect sensor (if your car is so equipped) to do while it's out. Remember, there's two ways to do things: do it right, or do it again! Make sure you make note of the orientation of the keyed dog before you remove it, or your rotor will be 180 degrees out. Also, I've gone through about 3 punches trying to hammer out that damn pin, and also busted a tooth off (you'll see what I'm talking about) the cam-driven assembly by trying to rest the two teeth on the jaws of a vise and then pounding on the pin. I was fortunate to be doing all of this in an auto craft shop, and I had a spare distributor on hand that I had cracked the housing on... between the two, I cobbled together one functional one. Also, I scrounged up a pin just slightly smaller in diameter than the one I had just pounded out. I've been driving with it without incident for several months. Good luck!
