Mine was installed improperly and the condensor wire was held taught against the generator because of it. One day while I was driving down the freeway, the insulation wore through and the car died right there and a few fuses blew. I did manage to get the DDS (distributor drive shaft) out. I remember having some trouble with the washers but not what it was specificaly. Try a rare earth magnet. They're really strong.
