under the cap of a 009 distributor I see a black plastic cover. what does it do and why do newer ones not feature this ?

Ladies/Gents: I am hoping someone can help with the link to a video I watched a few years ago. If I remember correctly, it was a German (Dutch??) Ripley's Believe it or not-type of show where they drove a bug onto a stage...a crew of dudes replaced the engine in like 30 seconds and subsequently...

I haven't posted here in ages but I read often. Do you simply take the setscrew /bolt out of the arm and just pound the arm out with a BFH? We tried last night with a not so big hammer and it didn't budge. Is there a trick to it or just pound harder? Thanks, Dave in WV
