See the upper half moon of aluminum that goes over the distributor plug? That's the retainer. With the VC removed, you'll see the two tamper-proof screws that secure it to the head surface.
I've got the right sockets for these screws but have never managed to budge one. I think (it's been awhile) that I've either skipped the distributor plug o-rings altogether, or else it might've been possible just to bonk it out with rubber mallet.
Nice to get a new o-ring in there, to slow the leak to its factory preset. Eliminate it? Ha ha ha ha.
