Typical from lack of maintenance. The shaft has rusted. Use a small, sharp
chisel and hammer to break it apart to remove it. Use some emory cloth to
clean off the rust. Put a light film of oil on the shaft. Install the new
rotor. Pull the rotor to inspect and clean the shaft every time you pull
the plugs to prevent this in the future.
