Distributor ground wire

Distributor ground wire
In the process of installing PerTronix in my distributor, as I was running the wires through the hole in the base, the black wire that connects from the base of the distributor to the bottom of the vacuum advance plate broke. Is there anyway to pull that plate off? I can't see how to get the flyweights out of the way to remove that plate.

The wire is out, but part of it is still attached to the bottom side of the plate. There is no screw where it attaches to the plate. I'm guessing it is soldered on

You must be talking about the plate which the breaker points and condenser mount to. Yes, the ground wire is soldered to the bottom of this plate. You remove the distributor drive gear and the shaft assembly will come out exposing a small circlip around the top of the upper bushing which holds that plate in place.
