Rotor replacement

[RECHRGD]

I'm planning on replacing the rotor and cap on my mallory unilite after 30K miles.  The rotor won't budge with my elderly hand strength.  Is there a safe way to pry it loose without damaging anything?  My instinct is to just start prying with a screwdriver, but I thought maybe you guys have a better solution.  Thanks, Bob

go easy with a screwdriver

if you do pry on it, id pry with 2 screwdrivers. one on each side.

I've used a set of channellock pliers to remove stubborn rotors in the past.

Well, I gave it one last tug before resorting to more aggressive measures, and it came off.   I then installed the new cap and rotor.  The engine would not start.      Although the rotor I was sold looked just like the old one, there was a minor difference in the height.  Just wasn't my day yesterday.  Thanks for the responses guys!   Bob
