there should be one bolt that holds the rotor on the distributor shaft. Remove that bolt, and the rotor should slide off.

If the rotor is turned the wrong way, so you can't access this bolt easily, unplug the electrical connections to the distributor (there are two, I think). Then turn the key to the start position for a split second to turn the engine. You should be able to access the rotor bolt.
