Hi javiergarcia426,

If it is just the O-ring, it not be disassembled, removing the distributor would enable you to replace it. If it is from within the distributor, then it has to be disassembled.

Remove the distributor cap and note the rotor position before removal. During installation, turn rotor to same position to enable easier plugging in of the distributor.
