You don't have to take anything off...it's a 5 second job.
Did you mark the position of the rotor and the distributor body when you pulled it out? If not, then you'll need to time the engine again and you'll need to be very careful about the way you install it....you can't just drop a distributor in, in any position.
If you did mark both items and it just won't drop down, then just start the distributor down in the hole, hold the rotor left of the position that it needs to be in, and walk it in.
