[T3] distributor removal - how?

[Edward Morris <zpctnlj@yahoo.com>]

I loosened the hold down nut and began lifting the
distrubutor body.  However, before the bracket cleared
the hold-down stud I ran into another obstacle.

There's some kind of 'round bar' attached to the
underside the distr. body that catches on a transverse
rod just forward of the cooling shroud, preventing any
further upward movement. The round bar has a
front-back orientation.  

I MIGHT be able to bend the hold-down bracket
backwards to clear the stud, spin the distr. clockwise
and remove it. 

What am I missing or doing incorrectly?  

Thanks
