There is no need to remove the base plate to check springs are working. If you can rotate the rotor arm a small amount in direction of rotation [by hand] and it springs back when the rotr arm is released, everything is as it should be. Ocaasionally, the distributor cam can become siezed on its' drive shaft,if you cannot get a small amont of rotation of the rotor arm by hand, the shafts are siezed.
