It could be that the dizzie cap’s ventilation was blocked, which caused moisture retention and the rust that led to your rotor becoming stuck (as mine still is.) — Somebody posted that a certain truck has ventilation problem in its distributor because of a small window with mesh that gets blocked by debris over time. Somebody else said that removing water and corrosion inside his civic’s dizzie cap was becoming a weekly necessity. I realized that the dizzie cap I bought a few years ago has stopped ventilating properly. It has a sort of ‘chimney’ with a very small cap on it that allows some air to pass by not seating completely. I replaced that tiny cap with a 2″ piece of plastic tube and hey presto, the car is running smoothly for a month (in a very damp winter) with no more removals of dizzie cap to clean the posts inside it. I still would like to take the whole dizzie apart some time and clean it up. Maybe in summer.
