Removing Ignition Module Help - 94 chim

[steshutt]

I need to replace the ignition module on the side of the distributor. (94 chim).
It does not look easy to get at/remove, Can anyone give me some pointers on removing/replacing it to save me working it out and a few hours.
Can't find anything in the previous posts. Thanks.

Held on by two bolts, one either side of the module body, then draws off from two contacts on the side of the dizzy. Can't remember the size - 5 mm maybe? I used a TAMIYA (radio controlled model car) wheel wrench to remove mine - perfect!

Clean up both mating surfaces before refitting, and use thin, evenly spread heat-conducting paste (computer processor chip stuff is suitable).

Thanks Griff
for the record,managed to get it off, a bit fiddly to say the least using a very small flat spanner from a precision screwdriver kit. Spent ages doing quarter turn at a time. Size does not appear to be metric, its about 5.5mm.
For the more inaccesible one, nearer the engine block, I used a ratchet screwdriver with long flexible (bendy)attachment, bent it under the expansion chamber and managed to get a small (non metric, sorry cant remeber exact size) socket on it. Wish I had tried this for the first one, may have saved myself the best part of an hour, but I am an amateur.
Now just to put the new one back on tonight and hopefully all will be well.
